Netanyahu-Mitchell talks on settlements canceled Israel Jerusalem Post

A much anticipated meeting Thursday in Paris between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US Mideast envoy George Mitchell has been canceled, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Instead, Defense Minister Ehud Barak will be going to the US on Monday to meet with Mitchell. It will be Barak's second visit to Washington this month.

The Netanyahu-Mitchell meeting was expected to deal with the lingering settlement construction dispute between Jerusalem and Washington, and attempt to find a formula on the matter that would be satisfactory to both sides.

According to diplomatic officials, the meeting was canceled because both sides needed more time to prepare.

Translation: Bibi isn't going to bow to the idol of BO.
