Bethlehem - Ma'an - Al-Sharq newspaper announced that "Israel no longer objects to the release of Marwan Barghouti, but insists on releasing him to Gaza and not the West Bank." Earlier, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir revealed last February that Barghouti had been transferred from Ofer military prison to solitary confinement in another prison, following information about a 'planned intifada in the West Bank.' This came in the context of the campaign launched by Ben Gvir against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023 and the start of the war on Gaza. Since then, a number of prisoners have been martyred as a result of torture, according to reports from Palestinian prisoners' bodies. Source: Maan News Agency
