I see. That's insufficient. There should be no cease fire while the prisoners are held.

Here's one with information that's more specific.

Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs

JERUSALEM ISSUE BRIEF
Vol. 6, No. 6 7 August 2006
The U.S.-French Draft UN Resolution on Lebanon:
Strengths and Weaknesses
Dore Gold

Excerpt:
"The draft resolution only partially addresses some of Israel's main concerns in the present conflict. Israel's abducted soldiers appear and their release is not linked to the question of Lebanese prisoners in Israel. However, the abducted soldiers are relegated to the preambular language of the draft resolution, rather than appearing in the operative language that specifies what the parties have to do."

Here's another one, but it's vague, as are most reports from mainstream newspapers.

Lebanon opposes proposed UN resolution

EDITH M. LEDERER
Associated Press by way of The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
07/08/06

Excerpt:
"On prisoners, the draft does not explicitly call for the release of two Israeli soldiers whose abduction sparked the fighting, though it emphasizes the need for their unconditional freedom, and it encourages efforts to settle the sensitive issue of Lebanese prisoners in Israel."
