00:00Marwan was a legitimate leader, he became that symbol of the broader Palestinian resistance.
00:25And I think the Palestinians, with their hearts, with their will, can defeat this Israeli occupation in the future.
00:32If you dare take on the responsibilities and positions of the leader, you are taking a tremendous risk.
00:37Here in this street, it was the first time my father's car was hit when they tried to assassinate him.
00:47Marwan apparently said, these are the rules of the game, I'll say my own statement.
00:56Israel pushed him and the entire Palestinian people.
01:00And the reality is irreversible.
01:07Israel succeeded to arrest my body, but not my soul.
01:11He is a terrorist and he is a murderer.
01:13Everybody in this world knows that Marwan Barghouti is fighting for peace.
01:20I miss him.
01:26My father sent me a letter, he said that he's thinking of a huge hunger strike.
01:41From his cell, between four walls, a man who has nothing, absolutely nothing.
01:46He restored hope in people's hearts.
01:49I think that there is a fair chance that once there are elections, that he will be elected as the president.
