Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, Tuesday, that the New York Times did not clarify Marwan Barghouti's status as a terrorist convicted for murder until Israel alerted the newspaper's editorial board. Speaking at Mimouna celebrations in Dimona, He said the Times presented "arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti as a 'parliamentarian and leader'. The paper recanted after we pointed it out to them. Calling Barghouti a 'political leader' is like calling [Syrian President Bashar Al-]Assad a 'pediatrician.'"
