According to blurb from Debka..Convicted spy , Johnathen Pollard..may be released soon.... US may release Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard - report DEBKAfile July 24, 2015, 11:07 PM (IDT)The Obama administration is preparing to release convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, according to US officials, some of whom hope the move will smooth relations with Israel in the wake of the Iran nuclear deal.Some US officials are pushing for Mr. Pollard’s release in a matter of weeks. Others expect it could take months, possibly until his parole consideration date in November.I actually was expecting this , especially as Obama is nearing the end of his term...It has been one of the irritants in relations with Israel for years ..Pollard has been in Prison longer then most convicted spies..thinking the Russians and such over the years...His wife was finally released some years ago..believe Pollard is not healthy and the last thing any administration would want I believe is to have him die in Prison... There is a very detailed and complete article as a Wicki that suggests Pollard was really in to all this for the $..not so much as a sympathetic person toward Israel...also many times, through poligraph and other events , by many in authority..he was thought as a Kook..was down rated on security clearances yet after threatening to sue to get his clearences back all of a sudden got very good reviews.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_PollardHe will be eligible for legal parole in November anyway..any earlier release would have to come from Obama intervention...

What's a couple of months early. A sop for Israeli and USA relations possible...also, for the one in prison it would be a big thing I think...Am sure he will go to live in Israel..they granted him citizenship years ago and his wife lives there..

Pollard will probably receive a subdued hero's welcome.

Pollard will probably receive a subdued hero's welcome. Agree.....may not be subdued...I thought keeping him as a prison for so long was a bit much considering the policy of others caught doing the same work...and doing what seemed much worse work for our real enemies but after reading the Wicki..[ one I put up..} and if true...possible I was wrong and there were reasons to keep him so long... Why Israel went along with accepting and paying for this material is beyond me..complete stupidity in my book....It seems that we do the same thing..our spying against leadership of Germany and France...but in those cases we are just spying against friends to have a idea of where they are coming from on world views...still stupid in my opinion but in a way understandable..Here accepting material and encouraging..their only real Allie in the world..one who is giving them $3 Billion a year in aid..year after year...complete nuts on their part and if they do go over board in their welcome just to say show up USA then they will be compounding their guilt in be party to Pollards spying.
