Silent Execution Fears Rise as Ben-Gvir Threat Against Barghouti Sparks Prisoner Alarm
In a statement issued after a video released Thursday evening, Palestinian Prisoners Club Chairman Abdullah al-Zaghari said Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir's threat against Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti amounted to a clear indication of the occupation's intent to liquidate him and other imprisoned leaders. Al-Zaghari described the remarks as emerging from a backdrop of unprecedented crimes against prisoners since the start of the war, heightening fears for Barghouti's safety. Breaking | Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir forcibly entered the solitary confinement section of 'Ganot' prison and directly threatened Palestinian prisoner Marwan Barghouti, a senior Fatah Central Committee member, in his cell. Ben Gvir reportedly said: 'You will not… — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) August 14, 2025 Al-Zaghari noted that Barghouti, who has been held in solitary confinement since the war began, is currently in Ramon Prison along with numerous other prisoner movement leaders. He described harsh and tragic conditions, including starvation, denial of medical care, and systematic assaults by heavily armed special units during crackdowns. Barghouti and dozens of other leaders have reportedly endured repeated assaults with injuries of varying severity, as prison authorities continue to obstruct visits and frequently transfer detainees under brutal conditions. The chairman placed full responsibility for Barghouti's life and safety on the occupying authorities, urging the international community to reassert its role in opposing the 'war of extermination,' halting the systematic abuses of prisoners, and ending what he termed complicity and impotence in the face of occupation policies. Raed Abu al-Hummus, head of the Commission of Prisoners' and Freed Prisoners' Affairs, described Ben-Gvir's actions as a 'public threat' and said the words and tone used by Ben-Gvir inside Barghouti's cell signal dangerous concealed intentions. Abu al-Hummus recalled Ben-Gvir's history of torturing prisoners on camera and characterized his conduct as rooted in hatred and racism. He warned that the life of a leader like Abu al-Qassam could be at risk and urged Palestinians to rally in support of Barghouti and other unifying figures, while calling on international organizations to intervene to protect him. In the same context, the Palestinian Center for the Defense of Prisoners warned that prisoner Barghouti could be subjected to a silent execution, given the continued incitement against him from the highest Israeli levels, which has reached a very dangerous stage. He pointed out that what happened constitutes barbaric behavior that reflects the mentality of the gangs that have come to dominate the work of the current right-wing government. He reiterated his call for the international community and the United Nations to provide international protection for Palestinian prisoners and detainees in light of the increasing Israeli abuse of their rights and the legitimization of this abuse by the prison authorities. Ben-Gvir Threatens Barghouti Yesterday, Thursday, Ben-Gvir stormed the solitary confinement section of Ganot Prison (also known as Ramon Prison or Nafha Prison) and threatened prisoner leader Barghouti inside his cell, telling him: 'You will not defeat us. Whoever harms the people of Israel, we will wipe them out.' Marwan Barghouti is a prominent politician and leader in the Fatah movement. He participated in the First Intifada in 1987 and was one of the most prominent figures of the Second Intifada in 2000.

Egypt's FM, Palestinian delegation talk developments in Gaza, West Bank
CAIRO - 5 April 2025: Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Badr Abdelatty received a delegation on Saturday from the Palestinian Fatah movement, where they discussed the developments in Gaza and the West Bank. The delegation was headed by Lieutenant General Jibril Rajoub, Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee, and including Rawhi Fattouh, Speaker of the National Council, and Dr. Mohammad Shtayyeh, member of the Fatah Central Committee and former Palestinian Prime Minister. Ambassador Tamim Khallaf, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the meeting witnessed an exchange of views and assessments regarding current developments in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, in light of the dangerous Israeli escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories. Minister Abdelatty reviewed the latest developments in Egyptian efforts aimed at restoring the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and resuming the flow of humanitarian aid as soon as possible. Abdelatty emphasized Egypt's supportive stance towards the Palestinian Authority and affirmed its rejection of Israeli attempts to undermine the unity of the Palestinian territories and separate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. During the meeting, the Foreign Minister stressed Egypt's complete rejection of the ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, Israel's aggressive policy in the region, and its use of brutal military force without the slightest regard for international humanitarian law. He also emphasized the continued extremist practices of the Israeli occupation against civilians, and its treatment of Israel as a state above the law. He added that the illusion of power will not help Israel achieve the security it envisions. Rather, the atrocities it is committing will only intensify feelings of hatred and revenge against it in the region, and will place further obstacles to peaceful coexistence among the peoples of the region. This will have a profoundly negative impact on its security, stability, and the prospects for achieving sustainable peace in the region. He warned of the consequences of the continued shameful international silence regarding the events in the occupied Palestinian territories. Minister Abdelatty reiterated Egypt's rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their land, addressing the Arab-Islamic plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. He emphasized the importance of strengthening Palestinian unity and the role of the Palestinian National Authority, ensuring the fulfillment of the aspirations and hopes of the Palestinian people and the achievement of a permanent and just solution to the Palestinian issue through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967, lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Palestinian Politician Jibril Rajoub: The Grandchildren Of The Victims Of The 'Lie' Of The Holocaust Are Perpetrating A Holocaust In Gaza, Using The Same Methods; Hamas Should Let The Palestinian Auth
Palestinian politician Jibril Rajoub, secretary of the Fatah Central Committee, said in a January 31, 2025 appearance on Al-Iraqiyah TV (Iraq) that what is happening now in Gaza is a "holocaust." He said that the grandchildren of the "lie" of the Holocaust are using the same methods in Gaza. Rajoub continued to suggest that Hamas welcomes a Palestinian Authority takeover of Gaza, allowing it to be the party that talks to the international community, instead of having Hamas negotiating with Israel. Jibril Rajoub: "The Israelis have built their lie on the Holocaust. Well, what is happening in Gaza? All of it is a 'caust.' It is a holocaust. It is the same version, and the same method. The only... Someone did this, but unfortunately, the grandchildren of the Holocaust victims are the ones committing a holocaust in Gaza. [...] "I hope that all my brothers, in all the national action factions, do not succumb to all the enticements or pressures. I was hoping that our brothers in Hamas, from day one, would not enter any negotiations or talks with Netanyahu or anyone else. Rather, they should have said: 'We welcome the Palestinian Authority. It should come and take over Gaza, and be the party that starts talks with the international community.'"
