Hamas called on the Palestinian Authority to boycott upcoming land-for-peace negotiations on Monday.  The request comes a day before Israeli and Palestinian representatives are set to meet in Amman, Jordan.

Direct negotiations between Israel and the PA were broken off in September 2010 after Israel refused to extend a 10-month building freeze in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
