Considering he was sentenced to life in prison for spying against the US, he probably will di a covict, good riddence to bad rubbish. Spying for any foreign entity is still spying, ally or foe.

“This is not conditional nor connected to the recent event, even though we gave our opinion on these matters,” Netanyahu said, hinting that there was a private government reaction to the revelations over the weekend that the US National Security Agency had spied on Israeli leaders.

Publicly, however, neither the Prime Minister’s Office, the Foreign Ministry, or the Defense Ministry were commenting on the revelations.

Individual ministers did speak out on the reports that in 2009, the US National Security Agency and its British equivalent, the General Communications Headquarters, hacked into the emails of former prime minister Ehud Olmert and former defense minister Ehud Barak. The revelations came to light after Edward Snowden, a former NSA employee, leaked them to the press.

“The secret is out,” Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz said on Sunday. “The US is systematically spying on the defense and diplomatic leadership here in Israel. Is this how friends treat each other?”

No one else in the history of the United States has ever received a life sentence for this offense, whose median time served is two to four years.
