Mitchell: "Building Freeze in Yesha not a Condition for Renewal of Negotiations"
American special envoy George Mitchell indicated on Tuesday night that a building freeze in the West Bank will not be a pre-condition of the renewal of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. In an interview with New York reporters, Mitchell said, "Neither the president nor the Secretary (of State Hillary Clinton) nor I have ever said of any one issue ... that it is a precondition to negotiations."
