FREED SPY ‘MUST REMAIN IN THE US’

-

ISRAELI SPY Jonathan Pollard will not be able to travel to Israel after his release from jail next week, despite calls for President Barack Obama to intervene on his behalf. Mr Pollard, who is set to be released next Friday after 30 years in prison, must remain in the US for five years, according to the terms of his parole. In July, Mr Pollard’s attorneys issued a statement “urging” President Obama to “allow Mr Pollard to leave the United States and move to Israel immediatel­y.” However, the White House responded by saying that they had no intention of altering the terms of his parole.
