Middle East envoy George Mitchell's planned trip to Israel Tuesday to try to salvage proximity talks is on hold until Israel agrees to conditions the U.S. made last week, as the crisis in U.S.-Israeli relations appeared to deepen.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made the demands in a 45 minute call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday.
.....
When Clinton "outlined what she thought appropriate actions would be to the prime minister, she asked for a response by the Israeli Government," Crowley continued. "We wait for that response."
Mitchell could travel to Israel later on Tuesday or may cancel his trip and just go straight with Clinton on Thursday to Moscow for a meeting of the Middle East Quartet, comprised of the U.S., Russia, the United Nations and European Union.

At this point, the further the Obama Admin. stays away from anything the better for everyone.
