Hamas: Direct Israeli-Palestinian Talks Illegitimate, Coerced by U.S.
(AP-Ha'aretz) - Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshal said Tuesday that the upcoming U.S.-backed direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority are illegitimate and the result of coercion by Washington. He said the talks "do not obligate our people to anything." Meshal also called on Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah II not to take part.
