Convicted Israeli spy will have to remain in the U.S. for five years after his release in November.

Ha’aretz

President Barack Obama has no intention of altering the terms of Jonathan Pollard’s parole, the White House announced on Tuesday night. The announcement indicates that that Pollard, a former U.S. Navy intelligence officer convicted of spying for Israel, will have to remain in the U.S. for five years after his release from prison in November.

The White House further reiterated that Pollard’s release has no link to foreign policy considerations.

The U.S. Parole Commission has ruled that Pollard will be released from prison on November 21. Pollard will complete a 30-year sentence despite efforts by successive Israeli governments to secure his early release.

Secretary of State John Kerry said Pollard’s release is not related to the Iran nuclear deal.

“I haven’t even had a conversation about it [during the negotiations]. No, not at all,” Kerry told reporters as he left a House of Representatives committee hearing on the nuclear agreement on Tuesday.

Israel’s leaders have strongly objected to the nuclear deal and there has been speculation that Pollard’s release was arranged to help warm U.S. ties to Israel despite that disagreement.

Politicians from both the coalition and opposition hailed Pollard’s upcoming release.

“After tens of years of efforts, finally Jonathan Pollard will be released from prison,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement published by the Prime Minister’s Office, which also noted that the prime minister spoke with Pollard’s wife, Esther Pollard. “We are waiting to see Jonathan Pollard leaving prison,” the statement added.

MK Nachman Shai (Zionist Union), head of the Knesset lobby on Pollard’s behalf, said, “For 30 years I’ve been following this sad, ugly affair. Finally it’s coming to an end. For the last two years there’s been a huge campaign for his release. I hope to see him come down from the plane at Ben-Gurion Airport in good health. I’ll be waiting there for him.”

Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel, a former head of the Knesset lobby for Pollard, recited the brief Jewish prayer thanking God for “allowing us to live to see this day. Thirty years later than it should have come, the moment we wished for is at hand. I offer my blessings to Jonathan and his family on his upcoming release, and am waiting with great anticipation for his arrival in Israel. We will be waiting for him with so much love.” Ariel once accused United States governments of keeping Pollard in prison out of “anti-Semitic” motives.

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, meanwhile, welcomed the news. “We have long sought this decision and we believe this action is long overdue with Pollard serving a longer sentence than anyone charged with a comparable crime,” the group said in a statement. They stressed that his release had nothing to do with the Iran deal. “The parole date was set at the time of his sentencing and the current parole process proceeded the negotiations with Iran.”

“Mr. Pollard would like to thank the many thousands of well-wishers in the United States, in Israel, and throughout the world, who provided grass roots support by attending rallies, sending letters, making phone calls to elected officials, and saying prayers for his welfare,” a statement published on Tuesday by Pollard’s attorneys said.

November 21 will mark 30 years since Pollard was first jailed, and for years has been listed as his release date.

He was arrested after the conclusion of an investigation into suspicions he was spying for Israel. He was convicted in 1987 and sentenced to life imprisonment on one count of espionage.

Pollard is the only person in U.S. history to receive a life sentence for spying for an ally, and the only American citizen convicted of such a crime to be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.

Israel granted Pollard Israeli citizenship at his lawyer’s request in 1995, and only admitted publicly to his spying in 1998.

  1. …some rich jew will get pollard on a private jet to Israel. You can bank on that…

  2. Well now, just WHO is going to keep an eye on this Yid spy for the
    next five years? The Mossad? Should Pollard “vanish” into the Yid
    Levant aka Adolph Eichmann, who is going to complain? Only
    difference I see coming is Eichmann got a noose and Pollard stands
    to collect $M’s or more, courtesy of the Yid occupational government
    over there. Eichmann was virtually kidnapped out of Argentina by
    Mossad, but where did the complaints (if any) on Argentine sovereignty
    go? Let me guess. A few more anonymous donations to AIPAC should
    solve the problem?

  3. He got life; he should thank his jew Devil-God he’ll live to see the outside of his country- club “prison”. He got American agents and their contacts KILLED. And Israel is openly treating him like a hero! That should say it all! He should’ve been SHOT by a 6 man firing squad and sent back to the rogue, racist, supremacist, ongoing criminal organization of Israel in a F’ing coffin!
    The US needs to cut off Israel totally. Give the countless Zionist organizations something to screech about, the rotten, putrid, despicable bastards!

  4. Hopefully he’ll die before he gets to Israel, his promised land. The CIA ought to have him wacked; make it look like an indiscriminate attack or robbery. A 7′ Ka-Bar twisted in his heart ought to do it.
    Or hack his car and run it off a cliff. Inject him with bone cancer before he leaves prison. There’s so many ways to do it! Let the CIA earn its keep for once! A drive-by shooting. Set up a fellow jew for the attack, like they set up others. Ha! He should never make it to the illegitimate entity occupying Palestine! Then we could watch the scum jews crying in Israel.
    When will the Goyim wake up?? If the jews succeed in their NWO agenda, the Goyim will have no one to blame but themselves.

  5. Maybe, JUST maybe (and maybe JUST) something JUST unfortunate might occur in the five years to provide for a more JUST closure for agents who JUST might have had their covers blown and lives and careers endangered by this Dreck on a Bagel just as Valerie Plame Wilson’s was blown by another traitorous., treacherous Jew lizoid, of the species Ziosauroanus Terribilis, Scooter Libby MHDOCC (May He Die of Colon Cancer).. JUST searching for something more JUST!
    Lottsa comeuppance can occur in 5 years!

  6. If true it is the first good thing Obama did–not that it balances the mountain of his ill deeds– but still there is finally one half decent thing he does

  7. Hmmm
    Ok why is it that the MSM keeps lying by implication about his sentence? He was sentenced to life in prison. He is eligible for parole in November of this year.

  8. Oh my, Pollard being released ? So that means we don’t live under the ‘Nazis,’ “Muslims’, and other underground ‘, anti Semites,’ people like Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, and Jim Mares tell their Tea Party cult, about ?
    That’s right..Jews on the US,and they say so.
    So powerful, they can commit crimes against us, and get off.
    As to WalterWaltmens post, I don’t know exactly where your coming from but Eichman was German, and no Jew.
    Jews never hang there own. Neither was any SS personal allowed to be Jewish.
    Eichman carried Armenian blood.
    Please don’t do the “Zio Nazi”, thing on Ugly Truth.
    We emphatically refute that here.
    The only pro Jew forces in WW 2 and after where /are the Allies.

  9. Hmmm
    Actually your are incorrect, there were in fact some Jews in the SS. German auxiliary units such as the Tatar Legion, Ostturkische Waffenverband, an SS unit that included Crimean Tatars and other Turkic peoples. According to a letter of September 27 1944, penned by Chancellor Gerhard Klopfer, an estimated 500-600 Crimean Karaims were fighting in the Wehrmacht, Waffen SS and Tatar Legion. These were in facts Jews.

  10. After what this monster did, he deserve to be hung.
    By the way watch on You Tube: Brother Nataniel “Will the Jews Kill Iran Deal?. It is nauseating to see those idiots pledging allegiance to Satanyahu, standing up and applaud at every sentence he say. This is abominable of our Congressmen.

  11. You folk’s that monitor this website or just drop-in to see how the crazie’s are doing, ie; the NSA,CIA, FBI, Navy Seals, Delta Force, Combat Veteran’s ect. What say you?
