》 ISRAEL-HEZBOLLAH
Indirect talks to seek return of prisoners seized in raid
BY DONNA ABU-NASR ASSOCIATED PRESS
JDDAH, Saudi Arabia — U.N. chief Kofi Annan said Monday he would appoint a mediator for indirect talks between Israel and Hezbollah about the release of two abducted Israeli soldiers, the first public word of negotiations between the bitter enemies since fighting in Lebanon ended.
The announcement raised the possibility of a prisoner swap to win the soldiers' release, an exchange that Israel has repeatedly rejected, at least in public. Until now, Israel
had insisted that it would not hold any contacts with Hezbollah, but its government has been under increasing domestic pressure to bring the two home.
The agreement about the mediation effort could mark a breakthrough on an issue that is crucial to preserving the fragile 3-week-old cease-fire that ended 34 days of Israel-Hezbolli fightings. Israel mounted its offensive in Lebanon after the Shiite guerrillas seized the two soldiers and killed three others in the cross-border raid July 12.
The U.N. cease-fire resolution that ended the fighting on Aug. 14 urged the unconditional release of
the two soldiers. Hezbollah has said it would free them only in a swap for Arab prisoners held by Israel.
"Both sides have accepted the good offices of the secretary-general to help resolve this problem," Annan told a news conference in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port of jiddah. "I will designate someone to work discreetly and quietly with them to find a solution."
"The only thing that I insisted on is that if I'm going to use my good offices, then my mediator should be the only mediator," he said. "There must be one mediator and effective channel of communication." Annan said he would not announce the mediator's name to allow him to work quietly.
Annan did not say whether a prisoner swap was on the agenda for the mediation effort, and Israel on Monday repeated its stance demanding an unconditional release of the soldiers.

Asked about the mediation effort, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said that during Annan's visit to Israel last week, "we urged him to bring about the full implementation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1701, which calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages."
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah officials.
