WASHINGTON (Ma'an) -- The United States supports Palestinian reconciliation on terms "which promote the cause of peace," the White House said Wednesday after Hamas and Fatah signed a deal in Cairo.
Hamas, however, "is a terrorist organization which targets civilians,” said spokesman Tommy Vietor.
“To play a constructive role in achieving peace, any Palestinian government must accept the Quartet principles and renounce violence, abide by past agreements, and recognize Israel’s right to exist,” he said.
