Important point via Zaha Hassan- Marwan Barghouti "was on the list to get out in the prisoner exchange, and his name was removed by the Israelis because of this very truth that he could unite Hamas and Fatah and all of the factions and possibly be a bridge from this moment to a political agreement."

Maybe this banner is still bloating around the White House basement. Trump should resurrect it, and remind us all how successful that claim was
