It's from here.
Consider this opinion:
Carter’s proposed meeting will also violate part of the USA Patriot Act of 2001 which prohibits any US citizen from knowingly providing “…material support or resources” to a foreign terrorist organization (18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)). The phrase “material support or resources” includes “expert advice” which is what former presidents provide. A citizen found guilty of violating this law could be imprisoned for life.
The State Department has legally defined Hamas as a foreign terrorist organization based on three criteria: it is a foreign organization, it engages in terrorist activity, and it threatens the security of US nationals or the national security of the US.
