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.

So Pollard worked for Israel as a citizen of the United States?

By the way ... in reference to this ... “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 have to note that there is no charge of treason and no conviction of treason. People may say that to themselves in “talking around the water cooler” - but that is NOT backed up by the record - anywhere.

People who use the word “TREASON” - are either IGNORANT of the facts of the case or are intentionally trying to MISLEAD people by lying about it.

Right. First they denied any such link for years. They even initially rejected his request for citizenship when he was first imprisoned. LOL.
