Jonathan Pollard, a former Navy analyst convicted of spying for Israel in the 1980s in one of the most controversial espionage cases in modern U.S. history, had his parole ended Friday, freeing him to move to Israel.Pollard, who spent 30 years in prison before being released in 2015, became a cause celebre for Israel, which granted him citizenship in 1995. His case was a source of friction between the two allies for decades.
The Justice Department announced Friday that the U.S. Parole Commission had ended his parole, finding after a review of his case that “there is no evidence to conclude that he is likely to violate the law,” department spokeswoman Nicole Navas said in a statement.
Pollard was born in Texas to a Jewish American family strongly devoted to the cause of Israel. He was arrested in 1985 along with his then-wife, Anne, whom he divorced shortly after she was released from prison in 1990. He married his second wife, Esther, in 1993 while he was in prison. The couple have been living in New York, Dershowitz said.
I hope he leaves. He should not be allowed to live here
