Hezbollah to demand release of Palestinian prisoners
The Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah will demand the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails in exchange for two Israeli soldiers, reports said Sunday.
Israel will release about 150 Palestinian prisoners, including perhaps a couple of prominent ones, at the end of this month as a gesture to the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, officials from both sides said after a meeting Wednesday between Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
