[Jerusalem Post] Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in London on Monday for meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and U.S. Mideast mediator George Mitchell. A senior source in the Prime Minister's Office said that Israel would not accept any limitations on its sovereignty in Jerusalem, Israel's capital. Likewise, the official said the prime minister would continue to insist in his talks with Mitchell that normal life in the settlements continue to be accommodated. Officials in Netanyahu's entourage continued to lower expectations in advance of the Mitchell encounter, saying that although there has been a degree of progress in the discussions leading up to the meeting, a "breakthrough" was not expected.
