Fouad Siniora in der Washington Post, auf englisch:

On July 25, at the international conference for Lebanon in Rome, I proposed a comprehensive seven-point plan to end the war. [...]
The plan, which also received the full support of the 56 member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, included an immediate, unconditional and comprehensive cease-fire and called for:
 
· The release of Lebanese and Israeli prisoners and detainees through the International Committee of the Red Cross
·

via Friedensbündnis.

Israel lehnt im Gegensatz zur libanesischen Seite Waffenstillstand ab, mit bisher bedingungsloser Unterstützung durch die NATO-Staaten, voran Deutschland und USA.
