“Wife of Imprisoned Palestinian Leader Marwan Barghouti Urges Trump To Push for His Release” is the title of an article that appeared Oct. 23 in Time magazine.
“Mr. President, a genuine partner awaits you—one who can help fulfill the dream we share of just and lasting peace in the region,” Fadwa Barghouti said in a statement to Time. “For the sake of freedom for the Palestinian people and peace for all future generations, help release Marwan Barghouti,” from prison in Israel.
Trump commented in an interview with Time, when asked about whether he would support freeing Barghouti, who has long been seen by Palestinians and some diplomats as a potential unifying leader: “I am literally being confronted with that question about 15 minutes before you called. That was the question. That was my question of the day. So I’ll be making a decision,” he said.
