Prime Minister EHUD OLMERT (Israel): The most important aspect of implementing Resolution 1701 is the unconditional release of the abducted Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and EldadRegev.
Hizbullah's abduction of IDF reservists EldadRegev and Ehud Goldwasser took place the day before the leaders of the G-8 were scheduled to discuss Iran's nuclear program.
Israel fought a limited war against Iran's Palestinian proxies in Gaza for 17 days before the country's attention moved to the North after Hizbullah attacked an IDF position along the border and abducted EldadRegev and Ehud Goldwasser.
