A flawed peacemaker: Jimmy Carter was wrong on Hamas and Israel

Jimmy Carter’s legacy is one of complexity and contradictions. As a one-term president who struggled with domestic and international challenges, Carter’s post-presidential life brought him renewed admiration for his humanitarian efforts, earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Yet it is impossible to overlook a deeply troubling aspect of his legacy: his role as an apologist for Hamas and his often counterproductive interventions in Middle Eastern politics, particularly concerning Israel.
