Nasrallah raged throughout that war, pledging that Israeli would never reclaim the two soldiers – Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev – by force, insisting that they would only return through a prisoner-exchange deal with the Lebanese. That is exactly what happened at the Naqoora crossing on Wednesday, where Qantar and his colleagues arrived from Hadarim Prison. The exchange took place under the watchful eye of the International Red Cross. Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV boasted that Nasrallah has ‘kept his promise’.
This is not new to Arab-Israeli relations, although, yet again, it is considered a diplomatic victory for Hezbollah, which proved that it can deliver. It shows the Israelis that Hezbollah can continue to kidnap Israeli troops then trade them for an unlimited number of special prisoners, or the remains of prisoners.
