French presidential candidate Segolene Royal, wading into the Lebanese crisis during a Middle East tour, called Friday for the release of kidnapped IDF reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.
The July capture of the two soldiers by Hizbullah triggered the 34-day war between Israel and Lebanon's Hizbullah.
"The liberation of the two soldiers is absolutely vital," Royal told reporters at a news conference. She said she might bring the subject up in meetings later Friday with Hizbullah officials, though "perhaps not publicly."
