On December 23,2009 El National came out with an article regarding the negotiations with Hamas over the return of Gilad Shalit. They said that Israel agreed to exchange prisoners for Shalit, if Hamas deports selected prisoners. These prisoners El National claims were selected and there is no background reason why. They make it seem as if Israel arbitrarily chose random prisoners to be deported.It continues on to say that Israel was planning to meet with Hamas tuesday night and decide on a solution there. Hamas was suggesting that Israel release 1,000 prisoners in exchange for Shalit. The article criticizes Netanyahu's decision to negotiate with the terrorists saying that it is a contradiction of what he had originally said which was to wage an "inflexible" war against the Palestinians.
This article slightly twisted and left out some information to make Israel seem weak in the negotiation process. They fail to mention that the Palestinians specified which prisoners they wanted to be released, some of the biggest terrorists within the Hamas organization. Yet they do mention that Israel hand-picked the prisoners wanted they wanted to be deported. Also their criticism of Netanyahu at the end makes him seem defenseless and weak in his stance. As if he cannot choose what to do with the situation. They never went into details about Gilad Shalit and how long he has been missing in order to avoid emotional appeal for the readers.The picture within the article was also one of Hamas soldiers not of Shalit, again stressing the plight the Venezuelans beleive the Palestinians are experiencing
