Arab MK petitions court to let him visit Fatah leader and terror convict Barghouti
[IsraelTimes] Ahmad Tibi demands injunction against Ben Gvir for gutting policy that let MKs exercise ’oversight’ regarding Paleostinian security prisoners’ conditions

Veteran Arab politician Ahmad Tibi on Sunday petitioned the Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
to allow him to meet with Paleostinian security prisoners, saying National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s blanket refusal to allow such meetings is discriminatory and contravenes the principle of legislative oversight. MK Tibi, represented by legal non-profit Adalah, specifically demanded a meeting with top Fatah figure Marwan Barghouti, a highly popular Paleostinian leader and former head of Fatah’s Tanzim terrorist faction, who, in 2002, was sentenced to five life sentences for his part in planning three terror attacks that killed five Israelis during the Second Intifada.

According to Tibi, a policy put in place by the last Knesset allowing such meetings had been nullified by Ben Gvir at the beginning of the current one, even as members of the minister’s own Death Eater Otzma Yehudit party have been allowed to visit Jewish terror convicts.

After Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",’s shock October 7 assault, when thousands of murderous Moslems stormed southern Israel to kill nearly 1,200 people and take over 250 hostages, Ben Gvir announced a worsening in the conditions of Paleostinian prisoners, whom the Red Thingy has not visited since October 25, according to Tibi’s petition.

"For half a year now, there has been no effective external oversight on the jailing conditions, and MK Tibi’s visit is especially important in these circumstances," read an Adalah blurb announcing the High Court petition.

"We are dealing with a case where the overseen party is preventing the overseer from overseeing him," read the petition, which, in addition to Ben Gvir, named as respondents the Knesset, the attorney general, and the acting Israel Prison Service chief.

The petition also noted that a recent request by Tibi to meet terror convict Walid Daqqa was ignored by Ben Gvir until after the inmate’s death, when the politician was told his request had been rendered "irrelevant."

It was urgent to meet Barghouti, the petition said, because of recent "reports regarding his harsh jailing conditions, including long stints of solitary confinement." Barghouti, who has himself petitioned the High Court over his conditions, was said to have told his family he was repeatedly beaten by prison guards — including to the point of losing consciousness. Barghouti’s lawyer had seen signs of violence on his client’s face, back, and legs, according to Tibi’s petition.

Barghouti, one of the prisoners whose release has reportedly been demanded by Hamas in exchange for the Israeli hostages, is widely considered a leading rival of Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
. Although both belong to the secular Fatah party, Barghouti launched a slate of candidates separate from Abbas’s during the 2021 Paleostinian Authority elections, which the president ultimately canceled.

Gershon Baskin, a former negotiator for Israel with Hamas, has called for the release of Barghouti as a solution for Israel’s "day after" concerns about Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
’s governance when the war sparked by Hamas’s assault is over. According to Baskin, if Barghouti were to assume leadership of the Paleostinians, he could provide Israel with an alternative to a full occupation of Gaza and the empowerment of a local Paleostinian administration that would inevitably be branded as traitorous by its peers.

#1 If Israel was 1% of a racist/totalitarian state Globalist/Islamist alliance claims, Tibi would be sharing a cell with Barghouti.
