Listen "Frankly Speaking | S13 E2 | Arab Marwan Barghouti, Palestinian activist"
Episode Synopsis
Marwan Barghouti has spent more than two decades in an Israeli prison. Yet, polls still place him as the most popular Palestinian leader, and a figure that many believe could unite Fatah and Hamas. Earlier this month, he was seen for the first time in years after far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered his cell and taunted him on camera. The footage sparked outrage, not least from his family.
On this episode, we speak to his son Arab Barghouti about that moment, his father’s enduring influence, and what the path to a Palestinian state looks like today.
