The Carter center, founded by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, issues a statement commending the Palestinian organizations for its 'vision' of reunification of the Palestinian people.
The Carter Center issued a statement on Friday, hailing the reconciliation of once rivals Hamas and Fatah Wednesday evening in Cairo.
The center, founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, commended members of Hamas and Fatah for " having the vision to begin the process of reunifying the Palestinian people", saying that the Egyptian brokered deal provides a framework to resolve many of the longstanding issues faced by the Palestinian people in both Gaza and the West Bank.
Carter has been heavily involved in the Middle East peace process, mediating the 1978 Camp David Accords between then Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli President Menachem Begin, which was followed in 1979 by the Egypt-Israel peace treaty.
The statement issued by the center on Friday expressed hope that the reconciliation would pave the way for the reformation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), improve Palestinian governance, the election process and the security sector and reduce human rights violations.

Jimmy Carter makes just about anyone look like a brain-trust.
Seldom has anyone been so wrong on so many issues for so long.

everyonce in a while it strikes me that this man was a president....
he is insane and he is a leftist mouthpiece and it does go to show that not all Navy/miltary people are patriotic and pro American...

Seldom has anyone been so wrong on so many issues for so long. There's a candidate lurking at 1600 Pennsylvania as we speak, unless he's golfing or fund raising.

Remember, Carter was sworn in January 20th, 1977. We’re talking 34 years of shere lunacy here.
I have no doubt Obama will get there.
