’’Israel’’ Isolates Barghouti after Calling for Resistance

Local Editor

Jailed Palestinian Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti has been put in solitary confinement in an "Israeli" jail after he sent a statement calling for civil resistance last week.

"Israeli" Prisons Authority spokeswoman Sivan Weizman said on Monday that "as punishment for issuing the statement, Barghouti has been placed in isolation for a week and denied visits and access to the inmates' canteen for a month."

Barghouti, who also called on Palestinians to put an immediate stop to negotiations with "Israel", made the remarks before Land Day last Friday.
In his statement, Barghouti said that "the launch of large-scale popular resistance at this stage serves the cause of our people."

He also stressed that "the prospect of ending "Israeli" occupation and achieving a state through negotiations was an illusion."
The imprisoned Fatah commander, who is serving five life sentences, also sent a missive stating that "the Palestinian Authority must stop all coordination with "Israel" - economic and security - and work toward Palestinian reconciliation."

"It must be understood that there is no partner for peace in "Israel" when the settlements have doubled," Barghouti said pointing out that "it is the Palestinian people's right to oppose the occupation in all means, and the resistance must be focused on the 1967 territories."
From prison, Barghouti's views continue to resonate with the Palestinian public. The 52-year-old leading member of Fatah enjoys support beyond his movement and across the spectrum of Palestinian factions.
