Israelis It s your move first
Prime Minister Shimon Peres said the release of 39 American hijack hostages held in Beirut would remove a major obstacle to the release of 735 Lebanese prisoners Israel is holding. The plan faced delays as Shiite militia demanded immediate Lebanese freedom. Cabinet deliberations on releasing the prisoners were expected, with most ministers leaning toward a release if voted. An official said Israel is not part of any deal, though a U S–Lebanese prisoner exchange was reportedly understood.
