Former President Jimmy Carter held another controversial meeting with Hamas under tight security at a Cairo hotel today. Israel and the US have both denounced the talks. Both countries consider Hamas a terrorist organization. When Carter was in Israel, he didn't exactly get the warmest welcome. Top Israeli leaders refused to meet with him. The former President says he's on a private peace mission. He insists it's impossible to have a final peace agreement in the region unless Hamas is involved.
