Kuwait: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice criticised former US president Jimmy Carter on Tuesday for holding talks with Hamas.
"We counselled President Carter against going to the region and particularly against having contact with Hamas," Rice said.
She added that only Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas could take part in peace negotiations with Israel.
Washington had objected to Carter's meeting with Hamas, but the former US leader defended his move, saying that the militant group should not be excluded in Middle East peace talks.
