An Israeli foreign office official says President Barack Obama's special envoy to the Middle East is expected in Israel on Wednesday for talks on reviving Mideast peace negotiations, AP reports.
The official says George J. Mitchell will meet with Israel's prime minister and other officials, as well as the Palestinian president and prime minister in the West Bank.
There has been no immediate confirmation from U.S. officials. The Israeli official spoke Saturday on condition of anonymity because there has not yet been an official announcement from Washington.
