Barghouti, a prominent figure of the Fatah party, is a strong proponent of the peaceful coexistence plan.

Many commentators contend Israel persists in denying his release because they recognize he would become an powerful advocate for the Palestinian cause.

Court Ruling

An Israeli court in 2004 handed down five indefinite prison sentences against Barghouti, along with 40 years for his reported role in coordinating lethal operations during the second intifada.

He further stated: "Observing people around the world call for his freedom gives me hope. I desire our family's experience was exceptional, but numerous of Palestinian families experience the same hardship."

"Honoring him in this way is not only a appeal for his release – it is a appeal for the liberation of all Palestinian prisoners and a position for justice for every family still anticipating."
