Israel’s National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, visited Gannot Prison to inspect the conditions of security prisoners alongside Israel Prison Service Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi. While touring an isolation wing, Ben-Gvir encountered Marwan Barghouti — one of the most prominent Palestinian figures imprisoned in Israel.
Barghouti, a senior leader in Fatah’s Tanzim militia during the Second Intifada, is serving five consecutive life sentences plus 40 years for orchestrating multiple deadly attacks that claimed the lives of Israeli civilians. Considered by many Palestinians a political leader and by Israelis a mastermind of terror, Barghouti has remained an influential figure even behind bars.
Speaking directly to him, Ben-Gvir warned that anyone who murders Israeli civilians—especially children and women—will face overwhelming consequences, declaring that such acts will never break Israel’s resolve.
The tense exchange underscores Israel’s uncompromising stance toward terrorism and its ongoing focus on high-profile security prisoners.
