"Happy to see him with me. Happy to feel like we are going to see him again, even if it’s after ten years and half. You know, it’s a long, long time. Like, you going to see somebody new after sometime even as a person, as a human thing, it’s not easy. I lived just with him, together just 32 months. We live together, only 32 months. Then they arresting him again."

"I was preparing myself, preparing the house and making everything ready to say, to welcome Nael in his house. But after we start knowing that they are going to to let him go out from Palestine with other 48 Palestinian from Shalit (Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit) deal, it was a shock for me and for other wives because we did not expect this."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Iman Barghouti, wife of prisoner Nael Barghouti:
"I am afraid now if they deport Nael outside of Palestine that it will be difficult for me to go to be with him because I’m not that sure that the Israeli side will let me go. And this has happened before. They prevent families to see each other. They deport many of the Palestinian. Until now, many families, they didn’t see their sons, their husbands. So that’s why I’m really worried."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Iman Barghouti, wife of prisoner Nael Barghouti:
"In Guinness (Guinness World Records) record, they put him as the longest time as a Palestinian in prison and even in the world. So it’s a person, he said once in prison, they changed the doors, the iron doors, two times in front of him while he’s still in prison. That means how long the time it takes him to be in prison."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Iman Barghouti, wife of prisoner Nael Barghouti:
"I hope that he will be with me here, and I hope I will see him in front of the house. In the morning he used to wake up every morning, praying, and go out to take care of the land, to plant by himself. In the night time he used to look to the sky to see the stars because he didn’t see them for 33 years and a half."

STORYLINE:
The wife of the longest-held Palestinian prisoner by Israel says she will be happy to see him again after more than a decade.
68-year-old Nael Barghouti is the highest-profile prisoner set to be released under the Gaza ceasefire that begins Sunday.
He was first arrested in 1978 and charged with carrying out armed operations and organizing cells to act against Israel.
He was released in 2011 as part of the deal for the Hamas militant group to release Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, but he was arrested again in 2014.
Barghouti’s wife, Iman, now worries about being able to see her husband if he is deported to an area she cannot easily reach.
