Special report: Israel, Lebanon agree on ceasefire

    JERUSALEM, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Sunday appealed to his Lebanese counterpart Fouad Seniora to make peace with Israel, the Ha'aretz daily reported on its website.

    Olmert made the appeal during a visit to the Ort high school in Ma'alot-Tarsiha, saying that he has made many calls to the Lebanese prime minister.

    "Come on, let's sit, shake hands, make peace and end once and for all the hostility, the jealous, the hatred that some of my people have toward you," Olmert was quoted as saying. Olmert also promised to do everything responsibly and thoughtfully to get every opportunity for peace between the two neighbors.

    Last week, Seniora said that Lebanon "would be the last Arab country that could sign a peace agreement with Israel." Enditem
