The wife of jailed Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti said Monday that Israeli authorities have banned her from visiting him until 2019. Barghouti, a prominent Fatah operative, is serving five life terms for masterminding terror attacks that killed five Israelis and wounded dozens. Fadwa Barghouti said Monday that she arrived at the prison on Monday and was informed of the decision resulting from her role in his hunger strike earlier this year. She said Barghouti's family has been denied permits to enter Israel to visit him. Israel Prison Service spokesman Assaf Liberati confirmed that Barghouti was barred from visiting her husband for "security reasons" as a consequence of the hunger strike. Barghouti led a hunger strike for 41 days earlier this year, demanding improved conditions for Palestinian terrorists jailed in Israel.
