US official: Mitchell didn't threaten Israel
None
An American official said Saturday night that Mideast envoy George Mitchell's remark that US aid to Israel may be jeopardized was not a threat, but a response to an interviewer's question on the American administration's options if Israel refused to resume peace talks with the Palestinians.
"It was not a threat and not an implied threat," the senior official told Ynet. (Yitzhak Behorin, Washington)
