Majd Najia is a special type, at least in the eyes of his parents, Lydia and Abdul Karim Rimawi. He was born through a complex plan to smuggle sperm from Abdel Karim from inside Ketziot prison to an enrichment clinic. Abdel Karim is serving a 25-year sentence for starting a murder.

Abdul Karim was arrested in 2000, the year of the outbreak of the second intifada. He was convicted of belonging to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, a terrorist organization in Israel, the European Union, the United States and other countries.

Their first child, Rend, was only eight months old when Abdul Karim was arrested and his wife was in her early 20s.

In prison, Abdul Karim can see his wife through a glass window only. In the few times they are allowed to meet without glass barriers, they are prohibited from having sexual relations.

"If you wait until you come out, we'll be around 50, and it may be hard to have a new baby," Lydia said. "So I thought if it could be done now, that would be better.

She added that she was the second wife of a Palestinian prisoner involved in the "smuggled sperm scheme" and was followed by dozens of others. She said she first heard about the plan via radio.

She reports that the radio report was about the wife of Ammar al-Zabin, from Nablus, who had placed a child after her husband's sperm was smuggled out of prison. "When I heard this, I cried ... and at that moment I said I would do the same thing."

Lydia continued with the Razan Center for Industrial Vaccination, which carries out industrial enrichment operations free of charge for wives of prisoners. The cost of the operation usually exceeds $ 3,000.

The center's director, Dr. Salem Abu Kheizaran, stresses that the initiative is a social initiative above all, since the initiative "helps the wives of the prisoners to have children before it is too late. Nothing more than this. "

He explained: «We offer operations free of charge because it is a humanitarian issue for us, not for profit or trade. It is a social service that we offer society to address a social problem. "

Abu Kheizan pointed out that the success rate ranges from 50 to 60%. It is expected that 75 of the wives of the prisoners have succeeded in having children in this way through clinics and various centers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

"The allegation that children, Palestinians or others, are the product of sperm trafficking is unlikely in the light of technical and scientific difficulties," a spokeswoman for the Israel Prison Service (IPS) said. "The identities of parents can not be ascertained without DNA testing.

However, the spokeswoman asserts that the IPS is dealing with attempts to smuggle various things, including sperm, in different ways.

Lydia refused to reveal how her husband's sperm had been smuggled, and she said shyly: "We have our ways."

Abdul Karim was punished after exposure. He was not allowed to see his son until one year and three months after he was born, and only after he confessed to smuggling his car. As another punishment, he was not allowed to see his wife for an additional year, along with a fine of about $ 1,300.

Until his wife was allowed to visit again, Majd went to visit his father with his grandmother. Majd asserts that he loves his father and gives him candy.

"We believe there is a need to put an end to the committee in which prisoners live in Israeli prisons," says Meir Indor, executive director of the so-called Almagor Victims of Operations.

Indore considered the smuggling of sperm "a serious phenomenon that proves that the prison service is too lenient."

"We deal with prisoners with silk gloves."

Lydia says she is not opposed to what her husband did, and stresses: "We have the right to resist as long as the occupation continues."

Sawhour's website addressed the issue after Suha al-Akeelik, 33, from Nablus, tried to give birth to a child through the sperm smuggled from her captive prisoner Qasem al-Akeleik, 34, who has been held in Israeli jails since 2004 and is serving a 17- Where she lived with the Freedom Ambassadors Hagar and Aboud on 18 July 2017.

The "Ambassador of Freedom" is a term spoken by the Palestinians about the child being given birth by smuggled sperm.
