‘Will wipe him out': Israeli minister mocks jailed senior Palestinian leader convicted in 2002; sparks outrage
Image: X@/itamarbengvir Newly surfaced footage on social media shows far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir mocking prominent Palestinian prisoner Marwan Barghouti inside his cell. The Palestinian Authority denounced the video, with Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh calling it 'the epitome of psychological, moral and physical terrorism.' The footage marks the first sighting of Barghouti, 66, in years, who is currently serving five life sentences following his 2002 conviction for involvement in planning attacks that killed five Israeli civilians. It appears to be filmed inside the high-security prison in southern Israel where Barghouti is held. "You will not win. He who messes with the people of Israel, he who will murder our children, he who will murder our women, we will wipe him out,' Gvir, Israel's national security minister, appears to tell him in the video. "You need to know this, throughout history," Gvir says as Barghouti tries to interject. The video initially appeared on Thursday in messaging groups supporting Gvir before being reposted on his X account. The minister said that after seeing reports that 'all sorts of senior officials' in the Palestinian Authority objected to his remarks, he would 'repeat it again and again without apologising,' reported the BBC. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brigade Lakecrest: Lakefront Life from ₹1.95 Cr* Brigade Lakecrest Learn More Undo Palestinian prisoner rights groups report that Barghouti has been held in solitary confinement since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Last year, they accused prison guards of 'brutally assaulting' him in his cell, an allegation that the Israeli prison service has denied. 'You can't humiliate a person who is weakened by being put in a jail and in a cell,' said Barghouti's cousin, Mustafa Barghouti, as quoted by CNN. 'In reality, he humiliated the Israeli government by this behavior.' Barghouti is among the prisoners Hamas is believed to have demanded in a potential exchange for the remaining hostages it holds, though Israel is considered highly unlikely to agree to his release, reported the BBC. Barghouti continues to be a senior leader within the Fatah faction, which leads the Palestinian Authority (PA), and was targeted by Israel for his prominent role in the Second Palestinian Intifada, the uprising that took place between 2000 to 2005. Barghouti's wife, Fadwa Al Barghouti, said in a social media post that she did not immediately recognize him. 'They are still, Marwan, pursuing you and following you even in the solitary confinement cell where you've been living for two years. The struggle against the occupation and its symbols with you continues, and the chains are still on your hands,' she said through a post on social media. The reason Ben Gvir shared the video remains unclear. The far-right national security minister, known for his provocative remarks, has previously served a prison sentence for anti-Arab incitement, as per CNN.

UN says over 1,700 children killed while seeking aid in Gaza since late May
The update came as Gaza's civil defence agency said at least 38 people were killed by Israeli fire on Friday, including 12 who were waiting for humanitarian aid. A Palestinian boy carries a stroller at the site of a morning Israeli strike on a house, in Gaza City, August 8, 2025. Reuters The UN human rights office said Friday that at least 1,760 Palestinians had been killed while seeking aid in Gaza since late May, a jump of several hundred since its last published figure at the beginning of August. 'Since 27 May, and as of 13 August, we have recorded that at least 1,760 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid; 994 in the vicinity of GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) sites and 766 along the routes of supply convoys. Most of these killings were committed by the Israeli military,' the agency's office for the Palestinian territories said in a statement. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD That compares with a figure of 1,373 killed the office reported on August 1. The update came as Gaza's civil defence agency said at least 38 people were killed by Israeli fire on Friday, including 12 who were waiting for humanitarian aid. The Israeli military said its troops were working to 'dismantle Hamas military capabilities', adding its forces were taking precautions 'to mitigate civilian harm'. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties accessing swathes of the territory mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence agency and the Israeli military. On Wednesday, the chief of staff of the Israeli military said plans had been approved for a new offensive in Gaza, aimed at defeating Hamas and freeing all the remaining hostages. The military intends to take control of Gaza City and nearby refugee camps, some of the most densely populated parts of the territory, which has been devastated by more than 22 months of war. In recent days, Gaza City residents have told AFP of more frequent air strikes targeting residential areas, while earlier this week Hamas denounced 'aggressive' Israeli ground incursions in the area. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On Friday, the Israeli military said its troops were conducting a range of operations on the outskirts of the city. The Israeli government's plans to expand the war have sparked an international outcry as well as domestic opposition. UN-backed experts have warned of widespread famine unfolding in the territory, where Israel has drastically curtailed the amount of humanitarian aid it allows in. Hamas's October 2023 attack which triggered the war resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Israel's offensive has killed at least 61,827 Palestinians, according to figures from the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza which the United Nations considers reliable.
