Usual tricks by Israel
"Source close to prominent Palestinian prisoner tells MEE Witkoff and mediators had OKed his release before Israeli prime minister's office unilaterally removed name last minute"
Barghouti "is seen as a unifying figure despite identifying with Fatah, which is associated with the deeply unpopular PA" He'd win a Palestinian election, if there was one. Israel can't have any of that..
