Israel's national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir has released a video showing a confrontation with Marwan Barghouti, a prominent Palestinian detainee and leading member of the Fatah party, inside his prison cell. Ben Gvir, accompanied by a prison guard, delivered a stern message to Barghouti, asserting that those who harm Israelis will be 'erased.' The exchange was interrupted by Ben Gvir, who emphasized his stance repeatedly.

Barghouti has been imprisoned for over two decades, sentenced for his involvement in anti-Israeli attacks during the early 2000s. The Palestinian Authority condemned the incident, calling it an 'unprecedented provocation' and labeling it 'organized state terrorism.' Barghouti remains a significant figure in Palestinian politics, often regarded by supporters as the 'Palestinian Mandela.'
