"Dear Donald Trump, You still want that Nobel peace prize, right? You believe you deserve it, don't you? Even as you send the world's biggest warship towards Venezuela, promise to just kill people that are bringing drugs into our country they're going to be, like dead, and threaten further national guard invasions of Democratic-run cities here in the United States. I suspect you aren't helping your case for a Nobel right now. But I do have a suggestion for you. One that might guarantee you the hallowed peace prize that you so obviously crave in 2026."
"It's super-simple: get Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to release 66-year-old Marwan Barghouti from prison in Israel. You remember Barghouti, right? You told Time magazine earlier this month that you were literally being confronted with his case about 15 minutes before they called you, that it was the question of the day, and that you would be making a decision soon. You also told Time that the Palestinians don't have a leader right now, at least a visible leader because every one of those leaders has been shot and killed. For once, we agree! But Mr President, I do hope you realize that Barghouti is that leader."
Donald Trump pursues high-profile actions and rhetoric, including naval deployments and threats of violence, while publicly seeking recognition such as a Nobel Peace Prize. A concrete proposal suggests persuading Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to free 66-year-old Marwan Barghouti from Israeli prison as a path to peace and prestige. Marwan Barghouti commands broad Palestinian support across Fatah and Hamas and consistently leads in opinion polls against other Palestinian figures. Barghouti has been repeatedly sought in prisoner-swap negotiations, and his release is presented as a means to provide a unifying Palestinian leadership figure for negotiations and legitimacy.
