The video marked Barghouti’s first public appearance in years, and has raised concerns among his family as it showed him looking aged and gaunt. A senior figure in Fatah, the party that dominates the Palestinian Authority (PA), Barghouti has been in prison since 2004. He was targeted by Israel due to his leading role in the 2000-2005 Second Intifada and popularity among the public.
