U.S. Rejects Israel's Request to Allow Pollard to Immigrate to Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - The U.S. Justice Department rejected an official request from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow Jonathan Pollard to serve out the remainder of his parole time in Israel, Channel 2 reported Wednesday. Pollard was paroled on Nov. 20, 2015, after having served 30 years in prison for passing classified information to an ally. Pollard remains under a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew in his New York home, he cannot leave New York, and he wears a GPS monitoring system. Netanyahu's office said he remains committed to bringing Pollard to Israel and would continue his efforts to that end.
