JERUSALEMSeveral high-profile former U.S. officials, some with close ties to the Obama administration, met with leaders of the Palestinian militant group Hamas in recent months, raising hope inside the group that its views are being heard at the White House.
White House officials and participants in the talks emphasize the meetings weren't sanctioned by Washington. U.S. officials say there has been no change to Washington's insistence that Hamas take a number of steps before official dialogue can begin.

The only part of the US government that should engage with Hamas is Navy Seals or other Special Forces.

Thomas Pickering was one of them. He had many different jobs at the State Dept during his career, including being Reagan's Ambassador to Israel.
To: Nachum
This is all due to Obama’s religious requirement that he do JIHAD against Israel.

raising hope inside [Hamas] that its views are being heard at the White House. The Hamasses can rest assured that the Obama admin. sees eye to eye with them.

No wonder they don’t want Obama’s background known.

I'm hoping they're not providing Hamas, a designated terrorist group, what could be described as material support, including advice, since that's a felony. Conducting foreign policy, who cares. Think they'll be treated as I would returning to the country after meeting with a terrorist. Of course if they're meeting with terrorists at Obama's behest, then they're off the hook.

The Hamas terrorists know they have an anti-Israeli friend in the White House.
