Sinn Fein meets Hamas

Adams had been invited to Ramallah by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, but the two did not meet because the Palestinian leader is traveling in the Gulf.

The leader of the IRA's political wing defied Israel's objections and met with a Hamas legislator, saying that the freedom of Israelis is linked to that of Palestinians.

As a result of his meeting with Hamas lawmaker Ayman Daraghmeh, Israeli officials boycotted Adams during his visit to the area.

Adams yesterday urged Israel and the Palestinians to negotiate a two-state solution to their conflict, and said Israel must talk to the Palestinian leadership. "I think it's right that the occupation of the Palestinian territories should end, and I think it's right that there should be dialogue and an end to the conflict," he said.

Israel must "understand that its strategic interest and prosperity, security and freedom is interlocked into upholding the rights and freedom and security of the Palestinian people," he said.

Adams, whose Irish Republican Army-linked party is the major representative of Northern Ireland's Catholic minority, said before his trip that he wants to help provide inspiration for parties in other conflicts, following an agreement to end decades of bloody fighting in his land.
