Gaza : Israel and Hezbollah have drafted a written agreement on a prisoner exchange that the Israeli Cabinet will deliberate on Sunday, an Israeli newspaper said in its edition published on Thursday.
The Israeli cabinet will hear a briefing and deliberate over a prospected prisoner exchange deal through German mediation Ofer Dekel, “Haaretz” said.
If approved, Israel will sign the deal that will be taken to Beirut by the German mediator for Hezbollah’s signature, it added.
The deal aims to secure the release of Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, who were captured by Lebanese militants in July 2006, it said.
The paper pointed out that so far the deal with Hezbollah is described in official Israeli circles as “a framework agreement,” quoting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as saying “we will be able to reach the moment of decision with a clear conscience.”
