Also:

"I think it will be enormously helpful if... Gaza is not governed by an entity that is committed to the extinction of the state of Israel."

McCain was referring to the Islamist movement Hamas, which in June evicted Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's forces from the Gaza Strip and seized control of the territory.

"One of the fundamentals of moving a peace process forward is recognising that the person you are negotiating with (has) the right to exist. I hope that is made clear by the United States government."

McCain, who visited Baghdad on Sunday has voiced concern at what he said was Iran's influence in Iraq and its support for the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah.

"If we pull out of Iraq, then obviously the Iranian influence is dramatically increased," he said.
