Palestinian rights group accuses Israel of plotting to assassinate jailed leader Barghouti
A Palestinian rights group has issued a warning accusing Israel of planning to assassinate jailed Palestinian leader Barghouti. The group’s statement raises alarm over the safety of Barghouti, who remains imprisoned. The warning comes amid heightened concerns over the treatment of Palestinian prisoners.
A Palestinian rights group has sounded the alarm, alleging that Israel is plotting to assassinate jailed Palestinian leader Barghouti. The warning was issued in an official statement released by the group, which accused Israeli authorities of preparing a targeted operation against the prominent prisoner.
The group expressed serious concern over the intent behind what it described as a calculated attempt to eliminate Barghouti inside Israeli detention. It stated that such an action would amount to a direct escalation and a dangerous violation of international laws regarding the treatment of prisoners.
According to the statement, the rights group views the alleged plot as part of a wider Israeli policy aimed at dismantling Palestinian leadership and weakening the resistance through targeted killings and coercive measures in prisons. The group emphasized that Barghouti’s status as a symbol of resistance has made him a primary target within Israeli detention facilities.
Meanwhile, calls for urgent international intervention were echoed, with the rights group urging human rights organizations and relevant bodies to act immediately to prevent any harm from befalling Barghouti. They warned that failure to respond could result in irreversible consequences and intensify existing tensions both inside and outside prisons.
In addition, the group criticized what it termed Israel’s continuous violations against Palestinian prisoners and leaders, describing them as deliberate, systematic, and part of a broader strategy to suppress the Palestinian cause. From its side, the rights group reaffirmed its commitment to exposing all attempts that threaten the safety and lives of prisoners, especially those viewed as symbols of resistance.
The accusation surfaces at a time of heightened concern for the conditions of Palestinian detainees and the methodical policies applied by Israel in handling political prisoners. The group concluded its statement by holding the Israeli authorities fully responsible for Barghouti’s wellbeing and warned against any move that would destabilize the fragile prison frontline.
Until now, there has been no public Israeli response to the statement issued by the Palestinian rights group. However, the warning adds to growing fears over the safety of high-profile Palestinian prisoners and reinforces calls for more transparency and oversight within Israeli detention systems.
