let's concentrate on the figure of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it was. >> reporter: striking. mark regev, the spokesman was saying a moment ago that netanyahu presented that this was the most difficult decision he had made as prime minister. is there a perception among israelis -- obviously there's a high price being paid, but is there also a perception that netanyahu has sold out, become a bit of a turn coat, that he's compromised with terror? >> well, he's certainly -- there's some people within his right wing coalition government who might make that acquisition, maybe not so bluntly, but would say that this is a victory for terrorism. of course, benjamin netanyahu is a prime minister who built his career, his reputation on tough talk when it comes to palestinians, fighting terrorism. he is at a number of different points during his career vehemently opposed similar deals like this that saw thousands of palestinian prisoners being exchanged for a small number of israelis. so it is definitely a rhetorical and ideological aboutface for this israe
