National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the prison cell of Marwan Barghouti, a prominent Palestinian figure serving multiple life sentences, and issued a direct threat, as shown in footage released on social media. Barghouti, considered a potential successor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, has long been a symbol for Palestinians, who have repeatedly called for his release. The video, which is the first public image of Barghouti in years, has sparked outrage from his family and Palestinian leaders, who claim he appears to be suffering and fear for his safety. Senior Palestinian officials have condemned Ben Gvir's actions as an escalation against prisoners and called for international intervention.
