Directly behind Jimmy Carter's head in the photo, you'll note a map of the Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank"), and Israel painted in Palestinian colors.Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal (2nd R) meets members of The Elders delegation Lakhdar Brahimi, Ela Bhatt, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former Irish President Mary Robinson (L-3rd R) in Damascus October 19, 2010. The Elders are on a tour of the Middle East to build support for a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
Reuters however, is a bit too myopic to see the irony between the map and their caption.
