Kuntar to get state welcoming

Samir Kuntar and four other Lebanese prisoners will receive an official state welcoming when they are released by Israel on Wednesday as part of the prisoner swap with Hizbullah. The five men will be greeted at Beirut's airport by Prime Minister Fuad Saniora and President Michel Suleiman. Later, a huge rally will be held in the capital's southern suburbs where Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah will speak, the group's Al-Manar TV has said.French news agency AFP reports that the coastal road from the Israeli border to the southern port city of Sidon has been covered with Hizbullah decorations, and hundreds of volunteers have been hanging banners to praise Hizbullah's role in the prisoners' release throughout the south of the country.In Kuntar's home in Abey, streets are decorated with banners welcoming the return of the former member of the radical Palestine Liberation Front. "Samir Kuntar is the conscience of Lebanon, Palestine and the Arab nation.Abey welcomes the hero,prisoner Samir Kuntar,"(1)reads one sign.Meanwhile, a senior Hizbullah official has said Israel's approval of a prisoner swap with his group is an "official admission of defeat."Hizbullah's commander in south Lebanon, Sheik Nabil Kaouk, said Tuesday that Wednesday's prisoner exchange showed Israel's "humiliating failure in confronting the resistance militarily and politically."The cabinet gave final approval for the deal Tuesday, a day ahead of the expected return of five Lebanese prisoners to Lebanon, Samir Kuntar among them in exchange for Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser.
