Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas passed Sen. John Kerry a letter for President Obama while Kerry visited Gaza on Thursday, senior State Department officials said.
Sen. John Kerry tours Gaza's ruins with U.N. officials Thursday, the day he reportedly got a letter from Hamas.
The letter for the president is in the hands of the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem, the officials said Friday.
Kerry, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, toured the devastation in Gaza and met with officials from the U.N. Works Relief Agency, the main provider of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Frederick Jones, the committee's communications director, told CNN at the end of Kerry's meeting with UNRWA chief Karen Abu Zayed that "she handed [Kerry] a letter addressed to the president of the United States along with other materials."
The U.S. considers Hamas a terrorist organization and has no contact with the organization.
Kerry, D-Massachusetts, first learned that the letter was included in the materials, Jones said, after he left Gaza for meetings in Israel, when reports began to emerge that he had a letter from Hamas.

OMG PING!!
Here we go AGAIN!
Reminds me of Hanoi Jane and the notes she did NOT bring back from the POW’s in vietnam. How strange life is....after all these years!
I HATE THAT POS KERRY! HOW HE CONTINUES TO BE ABLE TO MOUTH OFF! the only redeeming feature of Kerry is that he is getting older and uglier!
“Obama, I’m your Father. Come join us.”
Useful answers to likely questions at the president’s next presser.
The Friday night democratic news dumps have begun!
Shouldn’t he have to read that note in front of the whole class?
Bumperoo to that.
Democrats - the baseline for sleeze.
Still a traitor after all these years.
“Frederick Jones, the committee’s communications director, told CNN at the end of Kerry’s meeting with UNRWA chief Karen Abu Zayed that “she handed [Kerry] a letter addressed to the president of the United States along with other materials.”

A member of the extended royal family, Sir Kerry will not be interogated aboout his contact with a designated terrorist group on return to America.
After all, who is the government to designate terrorist groups anyway.
Bibi should arrest him as a spy.
