Footage shows far-right minister taunting 66-year-old Palestinian leader during jail visit.
Palestinian officials have condemned far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s taunting visit to the jail cell of long-imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti.
Footage of the visit shared on social media on Thursday showed the minister making threatening remarks to the 66-year-old.
In the footage, Ben-Gvir is seen telling Barghouti, who has been in prison since 2002, including years in solitary confinement: “You won’t win. Whoever messes with the nation of Israel, whoever murders our children and women – we will wipe them out.”
“You should know this, [this happened] throughout history,” Ben-Gvir added.
