Dear John Accepts Hamas Letter for Dear (U.S.) Leader

Sen. John Kerry accepted a letter for President Barack Obama from Hamas leaders on Thursday, FOX News learned.

A U.N. relief agency official could not say what the contents of the letter were but said U.N. officials passed the letter to Kerry on behalf of the European- and U.S.-designated terror group.

Hamas has denied leaving a letter at the gates of the U.N. headquarters in Gaza.

Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, was visiting the Gaza Strip on Thursday, along with Democratic Reps. Brian Baird of Washington and Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Congress' only Muslim representative.
