The occupation authorities arrested Marwan Barghouti in 2002 and sentenced him to life imprisonment (social networking sites)
Yesterday, Wednesday, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir announced the transfer of prisoner Marwan Barghouti, a member of the Central Committee of the National Liberation Movement (Fatah), from Ofer Military Prison to solitary confinement in another prison, on the grounds that there is information about a planned intifada in the West Bank.
In a post on “X,” Ben Gvir, leader of the Jewish Power Party, said, “I am happy that the Israeli Prison Service is implementing my very clear policy toward terrorists in prisons.”
He explained that the Prison Service transferred Barghouti from Ofer Prison, located on the lands of the town of Beitunia, west of the city of Ramallah in the central West Bank, to solitary confinement (the location of which was not specified), as he described it.
Ben Gvir indicated that this came in the wake of information about a planned uprising in the West Bank.
The extremist minister concluded his post by saying, "The days when terrorists ran prisons are over."
On the other hand, the Israeli Channel 13 said that Barghouti was transferred from Ofer Prison to isolation in another prison for fear of escalation, after the Prison Service received information indicating that he was working to incite and ignite a third intifada in the occupied West Bank.
The occupation authorities had arrested Al-Barghouti in 2002, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment (5 life sentences and 40 years) on charges of “responsibility for operations carried out by armed groups affiliated with the Fatah movement, which led to the killing and injury of Israelis.”
Despite Barghouti's arrest and sentencing, he had a prominent presence on the Palestinian scene from behind the prison walls, as he had prepared the formula for the Palestinian factions' agreement in 2003 to stop military operations for 3 months, in exchange for the occupation stopping the assassinations and raids it carried out, and this was the beginning of his continuous presence from within. Imprison him.
