Author Douglas Murray has clashed with Palestinian National Initiative leader Mustafa Barghouti over the possibility of a twostate solution.

The debate between the pair erupted after Mr Murray presented the Amended Palestinian Prisoners Law No 19 (2004) to Mr Barghouti and questioned the politician on whether the Palestinian Authority was paying terrorists a salary.

“Mr Barghouti doesn’t want a twostate solution because he doesn’t want a Jewish state,” he said while the Palestinian National Initiative leader rejected the claim.

“He wants the river to the sea to be a Palestinian state ruled by him and his corrupt friends.

“He cannot answer the question I have put to him repeatedly – This is the PA budget, it rewards terrorism.”

Mr Murray also refuted the claim that Israel is occupying Palestinian land.
