Hamas is officially dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the creation of an Islamic state in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.
New York-based Human Rights Watch says it has evidence an Israeli tank team fired either recklessly or deliberately at Mr Shana.
But he told a news conference in the Syrian capital, Damascus, that Hamas would accept a Palestinian state on the land occupied by Israel in the 1967 war.
"The problem is that Israel and the United States refuse to meet with someone who must be involved," he told Israel's Council on Foreign Relations.
Khaled Meshaal told reporters on Monday that Hamas had agreed to pass a message from Corp Shalit to his family.
Jimmy Carter launches stinging attack against Israel
Jimmy Carter, the former US president, has described Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip as "one of the greatest human rights crimes on earth." Carter was speaking at a literary festival in Wales, Great Britain.
And that Israel should, in turn, negotiate with Hamas.
Call for proof
Mr Carter also said the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, captured by Hamas and other militant groups during a raid into Israel two years ago, was being held up by the lack of direct communication between Israel and Hamas.
His bungling promotion of jihadi entities, his campaign for countries to recognize genocidal terror group Hamas as legitimate, and his pressure on Israel to vacate areas that have become terror hotbeds under “Palestinian” control were all catastrophic.
Years before Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Meshaal launched the Oct. 7 massacre, Jimmy Carter met with them and claimed they weren’t really murderous terrorists.
Arab initiative
Hamas gunmen seized control of Gaza in June last year from their rival Palestinian faction Fatah, which has been left in control of the West Bank.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has challenged Hamas to prove its goodwill by renouncing violence. Jimmy Carter called the European Union's lack of criticism of the Gaza blockade "embarrassing." He said the EU should establish relations with Hamas if the group agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza.
they will accept it
He defended his talks in Damascus with exiled Hamas political leader Mr Meshaal.
He said Egyptian officials had told him that Israel had agreed to release 1,000 prisoners but accepted only 71 names on a list of hundreds of prisoners submitted by Hamas.
After Syria, Mr Carter is due to travel to Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
'Regressed'
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert refused to see Mr Carter, as he ended his regional visit in Jerusalem.
Mr Yishai, however, told Mr Carter he was willing to meet Hamas representatives - including Mr Meshaal - for talks to discuss the release of Cpl Shalit.
