Aides: Abbas to ask Israel to free Barghouti in order to aid Fatah


"Advisors to Mahmoud Abbas have said the Palestinian Authority chairman intends to ask Israel for a number of steps to strengthen Abbas' Fatah movement in both the West Bank and Gaza, among them a release of a massive number of Palestinian prisoners, first and foremost Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti......."

And by pure coincidence, of course, Barghouthi announced his support of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' decision to declare a state of emergency and an emergency government.
