Hamas Preparing Document for U.S. Administration

Senior Hamas official Salah Al-Bardawil stated that, in response to a request by former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, his movement was preparing a document detailing Hamas' official position on the conflict with Israel, including such issues as a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, the right of return, a long-term hudna, and the cessation of terrorist activities inside Israel.

According to Bardawil, Carter is to pass the document over to U.S. President Obama.
