Palestinian sources: Marwan Barghouti proposes unified Fatah list for legislative elections

Imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti has proposed forming a unified electoral list bringing together different factions and currents within the movement ahead of the Palestinian legislative elections, according to Palestinian officials.
