Hizbullah stresses contacts for exchanging the Israeli prisoners
Lebanon-Israel, Politics, 12/12/2000

Hizbullah sources in Beirut and military sources in Israel unveiled on Monday " contacts" that are currently made at the mediation of a third party to arrange the process of exchanging prisoners between the two sides.

However, the Syrian side was careful to underestimate the importance of these contacts, which Hizbullah circles said that the Germans run them.

The political assistant for the Hizbullah secretary general said replying to a question on the possibility of completing the process of exchange within ten days: " we only made the capturing to accelerate the process of releasing the Lebanese detainees."

He added " the Israelis have become more serious and asked the German to join the line and now the talks are on and the file is at the hands of the secretary general of the Hizbullah party."
