STORYLINE:
The trial of Palestinian uprising leader Marwan Barghouti opened in an Israeli court on Thursday.
Barghouti, the most senior Palestinian to be tried by Israel, said he did not recognise the court's jurisdiction and would not be represented by a lawyer.
The trial will become a platform for the conflicting narratives of Israelis and Palestinians about the events of the past two years, commentator Hemi Shalev wrote in the Maariv daily.
Barghouti decided not to be represented by a lawyer, to underscore his claim that the Tel Aviv District Court has
no jurisdiction in his case.
At the start of the proceedings, Barghouti's three children caught a glimpse of their father in the courthouse.
They tried to reach him, but were pulled back by security guards.
Barghouti's youngest son, who is about 11, began crying.
In the hallway outside, there were scuffles and shouting matches between Jewish and Arab spectators.
Israel accuses Barghouti of having orchestrated terror attacks that killed scores of Israelis.
Israel has said it will also try to show that senior Palestinian Authority officials were involved in violence against Israelis.
In a court appearance last month, during which the indictment was filed, Barghouti said he remained committed
to a peace deal with Israel.
He said Israel would only win security once it withdrew from the West Bank and Gaza.
