George Mitchell’s Road Map to Mideast Peace
U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East George Mitchell is in Jerusalem today for meetings with Israeli leaders. Yesterday he called for “immediate” peace talks between the Israeli and Palestinians. That comes on the back of President Obama’s speech in Cairo last week where he made clear his wish for a two-state solution to the conflict and the end of Israeli settlement building in the West Bank. The BBC’s Diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus joins us with his analysis.
