‘Post’ told of new bid for jailed agent’s release on 25th anniversary of his arrest, with support of notable American and Israeli officials involved in Pollard's arrest.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has asked the US to release Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard as part of a series of gestures made to Israel in an effort to restart peace talks with the Palestinians, sources with knowledge of the talks told The Jerusalem Post over the weekend.
Sunday is the 25th anniversary of Pollard’s arrest at the gates of the Israeli Embassy in Washington. He is serving a life sentence in prison in Butner, North Carolina, for passing classified information to an ally, a charge that normally carries a sentence of no more than 10 years.
When Army Radio first reported last month that Pollard’s name had been raised in talks with senior American officials about restarting the settlement freeze, Israeli officials denied that his fate was on the bargaining table. But sources confirmed that Netanyahu and American officials had discussed whether Pollard’s release could persuade Israeli ministers to accept another moratorium.

Let that bachelor’s child rot. Or just organ bank him.
No
When you find a spy, kill him. Quickly. Quietly.
Why is this still a problem?

Interesting, if true.
I wonder if Obama will go for it.
Same rule should apply to terrorists.
Obama wants a freeze badly enough, he’ll commit to it in writing. I don’t think its going to happen, what with all the other demands Israel wants him to put in writing.
Klaus Fuchs only served 9 years, that was a mistake.
Why would Israel trust Democrats on this? Slick Willie promised to release Pollard about 4 or 5 times for a peace treaty or for steps in that direction. Each time he reneged.
Bibi is not going to be pushed around by the girly boy in chief.
Never!
How's that for a "gesture"?
I very much doubt that Bibi expects Pollard to be released. This is a way of saying “Put up or shut up” that even Zer0 can understand.
Oh MotherFu*&ing HELL NO
And this on top of the $2 billion aircraft give away, the Israelis must take us for idiots who came down with the last shower.
Keep his sorry Benny Arnold ass in jail forever,
But stoop to the chi-coms level and remove his organs and sell them while he still is alive?
We are better than the chi-coms.
He should have been hung.
Free Pollard now.
Blackbag, I read your article at the time and agreed, I was post number 8 back at ya.
Things haven’t changed since then and he still is in jail.
And I don’t see Obamy springing his sorry ass to placate them Jews he hates.
Yeah. It’s time already.
Thanks Nachum.
