Marwan Barghouti

First direct meeting between Israel and the Palestinians in over a year ends in Amman; Jordanian foreign minister says he "doesn't want to raise expectations but dialogue shouldn't be discounted."

Hamas initially insisted the Fatah leader be included in the exchange, but later abandoned the demand.

UAL-Ta'al MK says Fatah-Tanzim leader is "part of Palestinian struggle, should be a part of leadership, instead of sitting behind bars."

Does our having boosted Hamas’s prestige behoove us to even the scales and make concessions to Abbas as well?

Palestinians not immune to change, democracy; people will support PA if provided alternative to violence, American peace envoy says.

“In the current reality, it's important that the gov't make an effort to the Palestinian Authority over Hamas,” Peretz tells the 'Post.'

PA official in Ramallah tells the 'Post' that Abbas had repeatedly asked Olmert to free top Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti and Ahmed Sa’dat.

Hamas officials say deal failed to include important prisoners, like Marwan Barghouti and Ahmad Sa'adat.

Jailed terrorist leader calls on Palestinians "to go out in a peaceful, million-man march during week of voting in September."

Marwan Barghouti is in jail for a reason. He is a murderer, not a political prisoner. Why would anybody at all consider him a partner?
