it was the pressure from inside israel that made netanyahu agree surveys show that most israelis want charlie to come home but netanyahu also has a political crisis to deal with and this is a way to score points he's only looking out for the israeli people and not for anyone else so also when you look at israeli society when you really want something you can pressure the government into giving it a lot of pressure netanyahu to make this deal but it's not pressuring him to make peace just by saying it again israelis do not want peace if they really did big pressure netanyahu to make a real and just one. for years this deal has been delayed over the question of releasing five high profile prisoners among them your husband so why now what is significant in the timing that's for the still being agreed to now. as palestinians no one is telling us the real reasons why the deal was made so quickly and why now we are surprised to see how it was done and what was. i think both sides made concessions by come us who said before they never make a deal without marwan barghouti so do you think the

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

he was also greeted by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who struck the deal with hamas last week with egypt acting as go-between. netanyahu hugh said palestinians should not mistake the israeli concession for weakness. >> i want to clarify. we will continue to fight terror and every released terrorist who returns to terror will pay with his life. >> ifill: but the prime minister came in for a harsh criticism from political opponents who considered the price of the deal too high. >> i am happy for the shalit family but i am very worried for the people of israel because the message is that jewish blood is shed in vain. the people of israel are defeated because of one soldier. >> ifill: there was little sense of defeat, however, near shalit's home in northern israel where a jubilant crowd greeted him after a long time gone. similar but holy separate jubilation erupted across the west bank in gaza as palestinian prisoners arrived home. buses ferry them into gaza city and into ramallah and other locations on the west bank. the terms of the deal dictated exile for some of those re

from the united states' point of view, i know what, i understand the politics of it for netanyahu.if it's my child, i want my kid back. it understand. but this is a bad situation. if anything, isn't this time for israel and palestinians to finally do something? basically the palestinians and hamas have said they're going to engage in more kidnapping to get more israelis and more prisoners. this is like -- and you don't see any gift from the israelis, and whatever the united states and obama administration say let's do something. >> eric: hold on, hold on. >> juan: you are missing the point. eric, give in terms of let's negotiate. let's do a deal. >> dana: netanyahu said he would. >> juan: but he won't. >> andrea: he would in front of the u.n. >> eric: palestinians are asking for the u.n. to recognize their country as state. does this help or hurt that? >> dana: it hurts -- it hurts them -- it might help them with some of their neighbors. it doesn't help them with the united states, who has been the driving force of trying to get them to come together. i'm curious about the timing o

we will now take you live to a press conference from benjamin netanyahu. we do believe gilad shalit has been reunited with his family. let us listen to mr. netanyahu. >> -- priority was to return our kidnapped soldier gilad shalit alive and healthy, to bring him home. today this task has been completed. it involved a very difficult decision, difficult indeed. in front of my eyes stood the need to return home the one who was sent by the state of israel to the battlefield. as a soldier and a commander, i went out on many occasions tasked with the idea, but i always knew if i all my friends were held captive the state of israel, the government of israel, would do everything they could to return us home. and this is the thing that now i carried out as the prime minister of israel. as a leader who sends daily soldiers with the idea to defend the citizens of israel. i believe that our common care for each other is not only a saying, but it is one of the basic cornerstones of our existence. in front of my eyes stood also the need, the need for -- to minimize as m

. >> even though much time has passed and netanyahu is the second prime minister since he was captured, we commend his success. >> late tuesday night, israel's cabinet agreed to the prisoner swap deal, which was brokered with egyptian support. prime minister netanyahu foist his gratitude. >> i thank the german mediator and angela merkel, who supported the mission throughout. >> the soldier was captured in 2006 when militants tunneled into israel from gaza. his contact to the outside world has been limited to a few letters and this video message. palestinians are celebrating the deal in both the west bank and gaza. >> we are making every preparation to welcome our heroes, to bring them back to their land and families. we shall celebrate this historic victory. >> for now, both sides are waiting for the exchange to become a reality. reports say it could begin within days. >> is land is the featured guest country at this year's frankfurt book fair. the country has more published authors per capita than any other nation. -- iceland is the featured guest country. >> fair goers are coming fro

. >> hamas is already -- >> netanyahu is a crafty politician. you have a security fence there. israelis don't feel that is -- >> i got a problem with his book, fighting terrorism. what do you say about that. >> clearly in one sense this is inconsistent with that surprise, surprise when people get in office they have different views of things. but the issue from the israeli view is this is a soldier and they have an epp nick that army that have to do whatever it takes to get their soldiers back. it would have been different if he was hostage was a civilian and that's something you have a big effect. having said that, as a former chief of staff said, my heart says yes, my head says no, because you're right and everybody else is right, it exposes not only issue issue of kidnapping but emboldens gaza. i mean hamas. it strengthenings the last people you want to strengthen. and it will weaken the p.l.o., which is what you don't want. so there are many complications, but 79% of the israeli supported is because they wanted to get the soldier back. he became everybody's child over the l

well, now, the israeli prime minister, netanyahu, says his freedom has been secured. he'll be back with his family within days. in return, more than 1,000 palestinian prisoners will be freed over the course of the next few weeks. that's the price exacted by hamas. rupert winfield hayes reports from jerusalem. >> last night in jerusalem, the israeli cabinet gathered to confirm a decision that people here have been waiting for for five years, a decision that israel's government has agonized over for nearly as long. the words from prime minister netanyahu's lips confirmed a deal has been struck with hamas to release a young israeli soldier, gilad shalit. >> i bring a proposal to the government, he says, for a deal that will bring gilad shalit home, alive and well. this is the last proof that gilad shalit is still alive, a video released by hamas more than two years ago. at that time, the young soldier had already been held somewhere in gaza for three years. the open hatred between israel and hamas has made this an extremely difficult deal to strike. shalit has been in ca
