National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir claimed Monday that imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti has been using his lawyers to contact Arab political parties, urging them to unite in order to improve conditions for security prisoners. The claim has not been independently verified.
01 · THE DISPATCH
The claim adds a new dimension to Ben Gvir's ongoing focus on Barghouti's activities from prison. The Zioneer has previously reported on Barghouti's efforts to influence Arab voter turnout, as well as on Ben Gvir's hardline prison policies. The minister's latest allegation — that Barghouti is now using his lawyers to push for Arab political unity aimed at improving prison conditions for security inmates — remains unverified and based on a single source.
