JERUSALEM — An American envoy sought to assure anxious Israeli leaders on Tuesday that U.S. support for the Jewish state remains firm.
George Mitchell’s comments appeared aimed at tempering a public disagreement with the new Israeli government.
The Mideast envoy’s latest visit comes after Obama’s speech to the Muslim world last week.
Obama promised to work to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Mitchell said the U.S. commitment to Israeli security is "unshakable,” adding, "We come here to talk not as adversaries and in disagreement, but as friends in discussion.”
