"...Israel is concerned that a transfer through the border crossing in Rosh Hanikra would allow Hezbollah to hold victory celebrations in southern Lebanon."
Hezbollah will hold victory celebrations no matter what happens; they always do even after getting clobbered at a rate of 5 to 1 last time (10 to 1 if you count civilians).
If they get Samir Kuntar plus 5 or 6 other Lebanese prisoners back alive in exchange for two coffins, then they are going to throw a big party. They might even invite Assad and Ahmadinejad. Well, that`s OK at least Hezbollah won`t be holding the Sword of Damocles over Israel`s head anymore. I doubt if Hezbollah knows anything more about Ron Arad. It`s been 22 years now and if he`s still alive, it would be a miracle.
Still, Regev and Goldwasser might still be alive; it has only been 2 years in their case so I will keep my fingers crossed and pray that they are alright. |
