“Twenty years after he entered prison in America, after being convicted of espionage for Israel, the Knesset tonight issued a resolution which states, ‘The Knesset recognizes Jonathan Pollard as a Prisoner of Zion, and calls upon the Unites States to release him upon humanitarian grounds.’ The Knesset will also petition the Prime Minister to make an official request to the US regarding this matter.”
