Goldman Sachs expects Nvidia ’beat and raise,’ lifts price target to $240
Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing whether to push Israel to release prominent Palestinian political figure Marwan Barghouti, who has been imprisoned for over two decades.
"I am literally being confronted with that question about 15 minutes before you called," Trump told Time in an interview published on Thursday. "That was the question. That was my question of the day. So I’ll be making a decision."
In an earlier Time interview on October 15, Trump noted that Palestinians currently lack a visible leader. His comments came in response to questions about whether Barghouti could potentially unite Palestinians behind a two-state solution and if he should be freed despite Israel’s opposition.
Barghouti, 66, has been serving five life sentences plus 40 years since 2004, when an Israeli court convicted him of orchestrating attacks on Israelis during the second Palestinian Intifada. Barghouti has maintained his innocence.
As a leader of the 2000 uprising against Israel, Barghouti has cultivated relationships with various Palestinian factions, including Hamas.
