Khanna urges Israel to free Barghouti to enable Palestinian statehood

US Representative Ro Khanna has called for the immediate release of imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, arguing that his freedom is essential for Palestinians to choose their own leaders and for a future peace process. Khanna, who is weighing a 2028 presidential bid, stated that Barghouti could help establish a Palestinian state living alongside Israel, despite the latter's 2004 conviction for attacks that killed Israelis. The call coincides with the UN General Assembly and recent polling showing Barghouti as the leading candidate in a hypothetical presidential race, outpacing both Hamas and current Palestinian Authority leadership.
