Jonathan Pollard is an American convicted of passing classified information to Israel while working as a civilian intelligence analyst. He pled guilty and received a life sentence in 1987. Because his crime occurred prior to November 1, 1987, he is eligible for parole after 30 years in prison provided he continues to maintain a clean record, and may be released on November 21, 2015.
Talk of Pollard's possible release came as Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Israel to try to mediate a dispute between Israel and the Palestinians over the release of Palestinian prisoners. Kerry was in Belgium on Tuesday but will go back to Israel on Wednesday and also visit Ramallah, West Bank.
He is a spy and a traitor and should serve his entire sentence.
