A Palestinian leader sees new energy in U.S. — particularly among young Americans — to confront Mideast crisis
LA TimesHe wears a small black-and-white checked kaffiyeh-patterned pocket square in his jacket’s breast pocket. Mustafa Barghouti, West Bank-based cardiologist and reluctant politician, for years has been considered one of the region’s smartest and most moderate Palestinian leaders, with an easy but principled manner toward friends and foes alike. Barghouti, 70, heads the Palestinian National Initiative political faction, which sees itself as a democratic alternative to the extremist Hamas as well as the Palestinian Authority, which has long provided a degree of administration in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war — triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis and an Israeli counteroffensive that has killed more than 39,000 Palestinians — Barghouti has been lobbying Americans to intervene. The U.S., he says, today plays an even greater role in the conflict because it has become home to one of the largest Palestinian populations outside the Mideast.
