Israel approves Hezbollah prisoner swap
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert won his cabinetÂ’s approval on Sunday for a prisoner swap with Hezbollah under which two soldiers held by the Lebanese guerrilla group, and believed to be dead, would be recovered. The seizure of army reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev in a July 2006 border ambush triggered a month-long war in Lebanon, with Olmert ruling out talks on their return. He then relented, negotiating through a U.N.-appointed German mediator. Posted by: Fred 2008-06-30 |
