James Baker Calls on Israel to Release Jailed Palestinian Leader
(Village Voice)Kareem Fahim - Former U.S. secretary of state James Baker on CNN this week called on the Israeli government to release Marwan Barghouti, the jailed Palestinian leader who is serving five life sentences for ordering attacks against Israel. "If the Palestinians are going to make this work against the really hard-line elements, the Islamists and some of the people of Hamas, they're going to have to have a coalition of the young guard and the old guard," Baker said.
