There are renewed calls for Israel to release Marwan Baghouti from jail, but he remains a controversial figure.
Among his supporters, he is sometimes hailed as 'Palestine's Nelson Mandela.' To his opponents in Israel, he is a terrorist. Yet Marwan Barghouti could help bring a solution to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, or at least hope for the Palestinians living there and in the West Bank, according to a filmmaker who has explored his case.Sophia Scott made a documentary about Barghouti with her sister, Georgia Scott, called Tomorrow's Freedom.
Some of the captives have been released back to Israel and some have died since then, while 'dozens of hostages' currently remain in Gaza, according to German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.Israel's subsequent military operations have killed around 34,000 people in Gaza, per the latest figures cited by Reuters.Hamas has said it would release the remaining hostages in a prisoner exchange for some of the many Palestinians held in Israeli jails.
