[Ynet News/Jerusalem Post] Roni Sofer - Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu met Thursday with President Barack Obama's special Middle East envoy George Mitchell. Following the meeting Netanyahu said that it was held "in a very friendly and practical atmosphere." Sources said at this point the U.S. did not present any demands to Israel. Mitchell seemed to be very much in fact-finding mode, talking with a variety of regional players, including the Palestinians, Egyptians, Saudis and Turks, to look for ideas on how best to proceed now with the diplomatic process. Netanyahu has known Mitchell for 25 years.
