Mitchell to Arrive in Israel on Wednesday


gmit2.jpgUS Mideast envoy George Mitchell is scheduled to arrive in Eretz Yisrael on Wednesday. On Thursday, he will meet with Defense Minister Ehud Barak and on Friday he is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

Tensions have been running high between Jerusalem and Washington as the White House and State Department press Israel for a total construction freeze but Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is seeking to circumvent the hard-line policy with a diluted partial freeze, unwilling to accept a halt to building anywhere in Yerushalayim.
