Gaza : Israel will not give green light to the prisoners-swap with Hezbollah until it receives a satisfying report on a missing Israeli pilot,a spokesman of the Israeli government said Wednesday.

The announcement came after an Israeli official signed the swap agreement in Germany.

Radio Israel said, Wednesday, that Israel got a report on the pilot Ron Arad who went missing in 1986 after his aircraft crashed in Lebanon. However, it was reported in Israel that the Israeli official in Germany refused taking the report to Israel and told the German mediator to return it to Hezbollah as it “does not answer all questions.” Maariv Israeli paper said that Israel wants to know the names of people Hezbollah interrogated to ascertain the fate of the pilot, in addition to when they were questioned.
