In an interview with FRANCE 24, the son of Marwan Barghouti accused Israel of keeping his father behind bars because "they don't want a legitimate leader who gets his credibility from the people". Barghouti, a Fatah member and probably the most popular Palestinian leader, has been in jail for over two decades after an Israeli court convicted him of involvement in deadly attacks against Israelis during the Second Intifada. Arab Barghouti lambasted his father's trial, citing "absolutely no evidence".
