Jews campaigning for the release of jailed spy-for-Israel Jonathan Pollard planned to mark his 10,000th day in US prison by holding a vigil outside US Secretary of State John Kerry’s Jerusalem hotel.
In what organizers from the “Justice for Jonathan Pollard” campaign called an urgent vigil to save the life of the convicted spy, Jews are demanding Pollard’s release from prison.
Pollard, a naval intelligence officer, was arrested in 1985 and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1987 for passing on classified information to Israel.
The movement to see the spy pardoned has gained increasing support among both Israeli and American Jewish leaders and officials.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres have also called for the spy to be released.
“The time has long since come for Jonathan to go free,” Netanyahu said a day before Obama arrived in Israel for a visit.
“It has already been raised countless times by myself and others, and the time has come for him to go free.”
