He was born in America, raised in America, educated in America and was a full American citizen when he committed treason against his nation.
Why would Israel, the great ally of America, provide Israeli citizenship after Pollard's conviction of American treason? Just what's in this for Israel?
I don't care what Bibi Netanyahu wants. We'll do our best to get Pollard to his foster country before sunset for a proper Jewish burial.
No release before then.
You asked ... “Why would Israel, the great ally of America, provide Israeli citizenship after Pollard’s conviction of American treason? Just what’s in this for Israel?”
As Israel has already stated a few times and in public, Jonathan Pollard worked for Israel and was doing his job under direction from the State of Israel.
Israel made him a citizen because his cover was blown by that time and there was no reason to keep it hidden any longer.
