Marwan Barghouti Life
- Marwan Hasib Ibrahim Barghouti (born 6 June 1959) is a Palestinian political figure convicted and imprisoned for murder by an Israeli court.
- He is regarded as a leader of the First and Second Intifadas.
- Barghouti at one time supported the peace process, but later became disillusioned, and after 2000 went on to become a leader of the Second Intifada from the West Bank.
- Barghouti was a leader of Tanzim, a paramilitary offshoot of Fatah.Israeli authorities have called Barghouti a terrorist, accusing him of directing numerous attacks, including suicide bombings, against civilian and military targets alike.
- Barghouti was arrested by Israel Defense Forces in 2002 in Ramallah.
- He was tried and convicted on charges of murder, and sentenced to five life sentences.
- Marwan Barghouti refused to present a defense to the charges brought against him, maintaining throughout that the trial was illegal and illegitimate. Barghouti still exerts great influence in Fatah from within prison.
- With popularity reaching further than that, there has been some speculation whether he could be a unifying candidate in a bid to succeed Mahmud Abbas.In the negotiations over the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, Hamas insisted on including Barghouti in the deal with Israel.
- However, Israel was unwilling to concede to that demand and despite initial reports that he indeed was to be released in the 11 October 2011 deal between Israel and Hamas, it was soon denied by Israeli sources.In November 2014, Barghouti urged the Palestinian Authority to immediately end security cooperation with Israel and called for a Third Intifada against Israel.
With Hamas determined to exchange a convicted Israeli hostage, a failed Palestinian terrorist serving in Israel for five years remains 'key to a ceasefire in Gaza.'

According to Hamas' list of prisoners exchanges for Israeli hostages, a convicted Palestinian terrorist convicted of five murders is likely to be at the top of the list. Marwan Barghouti, a veteran West Bank king who was jailed in 2002 for murder, is known as the 'Palestinian Nelson Mandela' to his followers and is seen as the catalyst in Gaza's ceasefire. Despite many negotiators' claims that the Israeli government hasn't agreed or confirmed that it is now inevitable, many negotiators believe it is close. A statement in Barghouti's name called for Hamas in the current war, something that his wife denies. Following this, his family claims he was brutalized in jail, detained in solitary confinement, and detained in the dark with loud music playing for days. The Israeli prison authorities haven't commented on the specific charges, but they claim they 'operate strictly according to rules and procedures.'
