Jerusalem ( CNN ) -- Israel has placed high-profile prisoner Marwan Barghouti in solitary confinement following his public call for Palestinians to participate in popular resistance against Israel 's occupation of lands Palestinians claim , the Israeli Prisons Authority said Monday . Israeli Prisons Authority representative Sivan Weizman said Barghouti had been placed in isolation for a period of seven days following the publication of a letter last week `` that called on Palestinians to take action against Israel . '' The letter was considered incitement , she said . In addition to the period of solitary confinement , Barghouti will not be allowed visitors for 30 days , she said . Last week Barghouti released 17-point letter from prison outlining what he said was a new strategy aimed at achieving Palestinian statehood . Among his suggestions , Barghouti called on the Palestinian Authority to halt its security coordination with Israel in the West Bank . `` The job of the Palestinian security services is to provide security and protection to Palestinian citizens , not to protect the occupation , '' Barghouti wrote . He also called for the end of previous efforts by the West Bank government of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to engage in negotiations with Israel and expressed his support for a campaign of boycotts , divestment and sanctions against the Jewish state . `` It must be understood that there is no partner for peace in Israel when the settlements have doubled , '' Barghouti wrote . `` It is the Palestinian people 's right to oppose the occupation in all means , and the resistance must be focused on the 1967 territories . '' Barghouti is serving five life sentences following his 2002 conviction in an Israeli court for murder and other charges related to his role in planning attacks on Israelis . He is considered by many Palestinians to be the most important prisoner held by Israel and for some he is seen as the only possible political successor to Abbas . Abbas has said he will not seek reelection . Barghouti has been put in solitary confinement multiple times for public statements leaked from prison . Barghouti is a member of the central committee of the Palestinian movement Fatah , and a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council .
