Minister Braverman wants Barghouti freed to 'strengthen moderates'
Minister for Minority Affairs Avishay Braverman said the government "must seriously consider releasing Marwan Barghouti from Israeli prison".
"In light of the results of the Fatah Congress elections we must consider his release in order to create a strong moderate political leadership for the Palestinians," he said. "Barghouti will probably be able to bolster the moderate faction that supports an agreement with Israel." (Roni Sofer)
