The Palestinian Authority demands that the Quartet pressure Israel to release Marwan Barghouti, based on a pledge made by former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Meanwhile, Knesset Member Ahmed Tibi visited Barghouti in prison and called for his release.Barghouti is respected by the Arabs not because he’s a “Nelson Mandela,” but because he’s sitting in an Israeli jail and murdered Jews. Previously he called Israel "the worst and most abominable enemy known to humanity and modern history."
