Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Hezbollah affirms prisoner exchange: "Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah, has announced his group's agreement to a prisoner exchange deal with Israel.
In a televised speech on Wednesday, the Hezbollah leader said he expected the swap to take place in one to two weeks.
He said that the exchange should include the release of Samir Kantar, a Lebanese prisoner who is serving multiple life terms for infiltrating northern Israel in 1979 and killing three Israelis - a man, his 4-year-old daughter and a police officer.
'I will not set an exact date. The sooner it takes place the better,' he said."
