 Carter hopes Hamas will act responsibly 1/26/2006 - 1:36:50 PM Former US President Jimmy Carter said today that he hoped that the Hamas Islamic group would act “responsibly” now that it appears to have been elected to power in Palestinian elections. Carter, who led an international observer team from the National Democratic Institute, said yesterday’s elections had been orderly and fair. “My hope is that as Hamas assumes a major role in the next government, whatever that might be, it will take a position on international standards of responsibility,” Carter told a news conference in Jerusalem. The elections were “completely honest, completely fair, completely safe and without violence,” Carter said. Official results were expected later today, but officials from both the ruling Fatah Party and Hamas said that Hamas had won more than a majority of the 132-seats in the legislative council. Hamas has carried out numerous deadly suicide attacks in Israel, whose existence it does not recognise. A day after the elections, there were no major allegations of fraud from either side.
