@MDavidoff
Doesn’t have a peace appeal to
Him sorry
@Gazaforus
No Fattah member is wanted to lead Palestine!! Even the prisons of them are not clean sadly
@RobHel69_420
Would've been nice by msnbc to mention that the charges against Barghouti were a joke and that even the Israelis couldn't prove he committed any of the 5 murders they charged him with.
The trial was a farce!
@Markjameslevy
He’s a terrorist.
@samrock5039
They believe in peace until they make that stop.
@NKB_POE
Marwan Barghouti won't be released,this man is a threat to Israel Colonial Project,instead they released Sinwar so they can have the "license" to ethnic cleansing.
@moebreezy656
20 years in prison. Sinwar did 23 years. All leaders are warriors. How are they expecting Palestinians to give up when their leaders are in the front
@shysonofficial
Almost sounds like Israel don't want peace ey?
@shysonofficial
Leave Palestinians decide their own future. Get Israel out then they can decide for themselves how to rule and defend themselves
@PMMac-l2n
I agree, he should lead. But it depends on how the Israelis have treated him during his time in prison, especially since Oct 7th – and all know what they're capable of!
@SaeedKhan-op3by
theres a reason why the zio govt wont release him
@AidilSulaiman972
Marwan he powerful man and simbol for Palestine, he united all Palestine, long time ago Ismail haniyeh make deal to change prison with marwan, but marwan don't want, that why Ismail haniyeh take sinwar
@kona744
Marwan Barghouti is probably the best chance for both Palestinians and Israelis to make a two state solution work. Yet, neigther Netanyahu nor Abbas are in a hurry to release him from Israelis prisons. Praying for Peace. Shalom.

NBC are you sure you want to cover actual news
@the_shah_of_iran
Satanyahu imprisoned this man so Hamas could rise as a militant group. This was Israel's grand design
@mrAZcardinal
Keep him locked up. He is a terrorist.
@TadashiBM
Israelis don't want Palestenians to unite under the leadership of Marwan Barghouti to fight for their freedom and liberty. Thats why they released the fighter like Sinwar rather than charismatic leader Marwan Barghouti.
@aaronbaltin7966
Imagine a peaceful Palestinian leader… Better chances of winning the Lottery lol
@RustScarcelli
He’s a murderer
