Report: Netanyahu asks Trump to release Jonathan Pollard
Israeli National News, Oct 31, 2017

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu asked US President Donald Trump to allow Jonathan Pollard to fly to Israel, Channel 2 reported Tuesday.

According to the report, Netanyahu made the appeal through people close to President Trump, in light of the efforts by the Trump Administration to restart peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

Pollard was convicted for spying for Israel in 1987 and given a life sentence. He was granted parole after serving 30 years in prison in 2015. However, he was placed under restrictive conditions, including a curfew from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and is forced to wear an electronic monitoring device. Any computer he uses is monitored. The restrictions have prevented Pollard from finding employment, and even from attending Shabbat services at a synagogue on Friday nights.

Pollard was also not allowed to leave the country under the parole restrictions.
