国际英语新闻：U.S. envoy visits Middle East amid Israel's rejection against Jerusalem building halt
JERUSALEM, April 22 (Xinhua) -- United States special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell arrived in the region on Thursday, several days before he was originally slated to meet with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
His visit comes on the day the Israeli media reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a request from U.S. President Barack Obama for Israel to halt all construction work in East Jerusalem.
The Israeli move could well mean that the already frozen peace process with the Palestinians is now further from being jumpstarted than ever.
At the last time Mitchell was in the Middle East, around a month ago, he was trying to find ways to bring the parties together for indirect or proximity talks. This time around, he may have no choice other than to try to perform CPR on a process that most local experts believe is doomed to fail.
