Israeli authorities launched on Thursday the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner Karim Younis after spending 40 years behind bars, the official information company WAFA reported.
Younis, a 66-year-old Fatah official from the Arab-Israeli city of Ara, was detained on January 6, 1983, for his resistance to the Israeli occupation. He was sentenced to life in jail, which was later commuted to 40 years.

He was presupposed to have been freed in 2014, alongside along with his cousin Maher Younis, in a deal brokered by then-US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Nonetheless, Israel reneged on its promise and refused to free them.
