Obama says US should not meet with Hamas
Democratic US presidential candidate Barack Obama on Monday backed the Bush administration's policy of shunning contact with the Islamic militants of Hamas in its Middle East peace diplomacy.
The Illinois senator has said he would break with President George W. Bush's stance of declining to talk to some other international adversaries but that stance does not apply to Hamas. Obama has said in the past he would be willing to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "You can't negotiate with somebody who does not recognize the right of a country to exist so I understand why Israel doesn't meet with Hamas," Obama said. Iran does not recognize Israel either.
