In an interview with FRANCE 24, Palestinian National Initiative President Mustafa Barghouti sharply criticizes Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government, describing them as fascist and accusing them of attempting to resolve the issue of occupation by deepening it—actions he argues are in clear violation of international law. According to Barghouti, Israel is subjecting Palestinians to conditions akin to a concentration camp, forcing them to live under extreme hardship with the intent of driving them to leave. He accuses Israel of committing three grave war crimes simultaneously: genocide, collective punishment through starvation, and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza's population.
Barghouti also called US President Trump's recent comments on Gaza "unrealistic", suggesting they reflect Netanyahu's long-standing strategy of ethnic cleansing.
"The fact that President Trump advocated ethnic cleansing as a solution gave legitimacy to Netanyahu", he said, adding that Netanyahu was behind Trump's plan.
For Barghouti, the struggle is ultimately about Palestinian self-determination and resisting a return to a colonial system of control.
