Hamas is ready to talk with American President-elect Barack Obama, the leader of the Palestinian group has said.
Khaled Meshal congratulated Mr Obama and hailed his election as "a big change" both politically and psychologically.
He insisted that the US had "no option" but to end its boycott of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, if it wanted to make progress on peace in the Middle East.
