The son of prominent Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti has called on United States President Donald Trump to use the momentum from the recent Gaza truce to secure his father's release from prison and revive efforts toward a two-state solution. Marwan Barghouti, often referred to as the 'Mandela of Palestine' by supporters, has been imprisoned since 2004 but remains a popular figure among Palestinians, with many viewing him as a potential successor to current leadership. Arab Barghouti, speaking from Ramallah, emphasized his father's ability to unify the Palestinian people and urged international actors to support his release as a step toward peace. The family has made multiple appeals to Trump, who recently indicated he may make a decision on the issue, though no timeline was provided.
