Israel's Barak to meet US envoy Mitchell next week

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak will fly to London on Sunday for a meeting with U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell, an Israeli official said on Friday.

The meeting between Barak and Mitchell, U.S. President Barack Obama's Middle East envoy, will be their second in a few days after they held meetings in New York on Tuesday.

"Defense Minister Barak will leave on Sunday night for a meeting on Monday with U.S. peace envoy George Mitchell and will possibly have other meetings," the Israeli official said in a statement.
