Israel and Hezbollah have prepared a written agreement on a prisoner exchange that the cabinet will deliberate on Sunday and possible approve. If approved, Israel will sign the deal that will then be taken to Beirut by the German mediators for Hezbollah's signature. | I mean, look how well the Hamas agreement's been working... |
The cabinet will meet Sunday to hear a briefing and deliberate over the prisoner exchange deal Israel reached with Hezbollah through German mediation. Ofer Dekel, the official charged with the negotiations on all the prisoners, will brief the ministers and respond to their questions.
So far the deal with Hezbollah is described in official Israeli circles as "a framework agreement." Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that he believes "we will be able to reach the moment of decision with a clear conscience."
