Marwan Barghouti should be freed by Israel immediately, says ex-Mossad head
A former head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency,
Ephraim Halevy,
has called for Palestinian lawmaker #Marwan #Barghouti to be freed from prison immediately
so that the Israeli government can engage in talks with him.
Halevy made his comment during an interview on Israel’s Public Radio.
When asked what advice he would give Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
Halevy said that he would reiterate his call to free Barghouti,
explaining that Israel frees many Palestinian prisoners every day
“whose hands are stained with blood” and who belong to Hamas.
“Barghouti’s record is very bad, but there are those who are worse than him and are being released,”
said Halevy.
“Barghouti is popular with his people,
he has a clear position,
he speaks Hebrew well and can negotiate,
all of which qualifies him to lead a new path.”
