JERUSALEM: Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas faced mounting pressure on Thursday after popular leader Marwan Barghouti, imprisoned by Israel, endorsed dissident candidates ahead of Palestinian elections next month.
Barghouti, who is serving multiple life sentences in an Israeli jail and is described by some supporters as the “Palestinian Mandela”, has aligned with the “Freedom” list headed by Nasser al-Kidwa, a nephew of late Palestinian icon Yasser Arafat.
Kidwa was expelled from Abbas’s secular Fatah movement after he said he planned to run for the Palestinian presidency.
His is one of two movements headed by former Fatah loyalists that will challenge the party in the parliamentary vote set for May 22, the first Palestinian polls in 15 years.
