[Jerusalem Post] Members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said they are baffled by the ongoing refusal of the US government to allow Jonathan Pollard to move to Israel."It is brought up every time we go for a meeting to the White House," Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice president of the organization, said at a media conference in Jerusalem on Sunday prior to the opening of the annual CoP conference at the Inbal Hotel. "We have been baffled by it for years."
Pollard, 65, is a former civilian defense analyst who was released from prison in November 2015, after serving 30 years of a life sentence for passing classified material to Israel, an ally of the US.
