Gaza City - Representatives from Hamas movement left for Cairo Wednesday to meet with former US president Jimmy Carter, a spokesman for the Islamist movement in the Gaza Strip said.
Sami Abu Zuhri said Hamas officials Mahmoud al-Zahar and Said Siam crossed into Egypt through the Rafah border passage.
Carter, on a Middle East tour, said he was refused permission to enter the Hamas-run Gaza Strip while in Israel.
Israel controls the crossings into the strip from its own territory.
