Marwan Barghouti, a Fatah man with excellent connections to Hamas, is seen by many as a savior and the man for the two-state solution. That he has been in Israeli custody for more than 20 years? Doesn’t matter.
It’s war, there’s desperation, and no one has a solution. So it’s no wonder that a savior is now being sought in the Middle Eastern turmoil – and that his name quickly comes up: Marwan Barghouti. As the most prominent Palestinian prisoner, he could be released from prison in exchange for the Israeli hostages in Gaza. However, this should only be the first stage in a lofty plan. Afterwards, the Fatah man, with the best connections to Hamas, should not only unite the Palestinians, but also promote peace within the framework of a two-state solution.
