Israel called on the Palestinian Authority to extradite to the Jewish state the leader of Palestinian militias in the West Bank. The request for the extradition of Marwan Barghouti was made under the terms of the Interim Agreement the two sides signed in 1995. The request came after Israel’s Justice Ministry issued an arrest warrant for Barghouti so he can be questioned regarding his alleged involvement in several recent terror attacks against Israelis.
