Yesterday, Israel’s National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, visited Marwan al-Barghouti in his prison cell and threatened him while being filmed. The Minister told Barghouti that “Whoever fights the people of israel and kills our children and women, we will wipe them out. You will not defeat us.”
Marwan al-Barghouti was a previous Fatah leader and is currently still the most popular political leader among Palestinians. He has been imprisoned by Israel since 2002 and was handed five consecutive prison sentences for his involvement in the Second Intifada. He is currently being held in solitary confinement at the Ramla prison in Israel. Images of him in prison have been rare in his latest appearance he looked frail and weak. Al-Barghouti is 66 years old.
Marwan al-Barghouti has been threatened just before European leaders are expected to recognise the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly next month.
