CrossFireArabia- June 20, 2026
After 25 years in Israeli prisons, Abdel Kareem Al Rimawi is finally set free. After quarter of a century, his wife, daughter and his son waited for him at the Al Thaheria Checkpoint, south Hebron. His son Majd was born 14 years ago, when his father’s semen was smuggled out of prison. As to the daughter Rand, she was still a toddler when Abdel Kareem was jailed. She is now a 26-year-old woman with an MA degree in media studies. He was due to be released a year-and-a-half ago, but he refused to be exiled to Egypt, then, a condition made by the Israeli authorities. After his release he visited the tomb of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, and made his way to Biet Rima, north-west of Ramallah.
