Physicians for Human Rights- Israel asks Lebanese counterparts to work for the release of the kidnapped Israeli soldiers
Physicians for Human Rights-Israel issued a press release on February 22, 2007 asking its Lebanese counterparts to work towards securing the release of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, the Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah on July 12, 2006. Most NGOs ignored the kidnapping in their condemnations of Israel’s response to the Hezbollah attack, and PHR-I’s belated statement is a welcome exception.
