US special Mideast envoy George Mitchell may be arriving in Israel on Sunday, informed sources are reporting.

Mitchell was intending to return to Israel to jumpstart mediated talks between Israel and the PA (Palestinian Authority) but canceled the visit following the crisis that erupted pertaining to construction in Ramat Shlomo. The PA quickly withdrew from the scheduled talks, and Mitchell announced he was placing his visit on hold.

Mr. Mitchell spoke with Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Wednesday night and it now appears he may be returning on Sunday.
