George Mitchell Again
By Micah Halpern

Friday April 10, 2009

I've Been Thinking:

George Mitchell, President Obama's special envoy to the Middle East, will be visiting Jerusalem next week.
This will be his third trip to the region since assuming this position.

Mitchell is making the trip in order to introduce the Obama administration's Middle East plans - which are no big secret.
While in Jerusalem he will, of course, hear from the new Israeli administration about their plans for the Middle East in general and the Palestinian issue in particular.

Netanyahu and Lieberman, the new Israeli foreign minister, will undoubtedly have all the time in the world to plead their case with Mitchell. Mitchell's style is to let people talk and talk and talk. Then Mitchell distills the discourse into several essential issues and takes that back to his boss.

This visit signals the beginning of a detailed interaction between the United States and Israel.
