US EditionRight-wing Israeli minister pays surprise visit to jailed Palestinian leader
Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly threatened Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti in his solitary cell, raising concerns of a possible 'silent execution' amid rising conflict, rights groups said.
- Entering Ganot Prison, Ben-Gvir confronted Marwan Barghouti, issuing threats during a rare public appearance, as he warned `Anyone who messes with Israel, who murders our children, who murders our women- we will wipe him out`.
- Ben-Gvir's visit was framed to oversee stricter conditions for Palestinian prisoners amid the Gaza war that killed more than 61,700 Palestinians.
- During the encounter, Ben-Gvir warned, `You will not win. Anyone who messes with the people of Israel, anyone who murders our children, anyone who murders our women- we will wipe him out`, as Barghouti appeared gaunt and aged.
- The Palestinian Foreign Ministry described it as `unprecedented provocation and organized state terrorism`.
- Negotiations collapsed when Israel refused to release Barghouti, whose freedom was central to February 2024 ceasefire talks, highlighting his pivotal role in prisoner-exchange debates.
