19 May 2025
Who, instead of Hamas, could represent a peaceful Palestinian leadership? Why does Marwan Barghouti remain the most popular leader in Palestine despite being in jail for over 20 years, a period during which more than 50% of the population was not yet born?

Rory and Alastair are joined by Marwan Barghouti's son, Arab Barghouti, to discuss all this and more.
