JNS.org – Hundreds of people demonstrated on Sunday evening outside the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, calling on the U.S. to release imprisoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.

The demonstrators held signs reading “Free Pollard” and “29 years, that’s enough.” A number of Knesset members took part in the demonstration, including Moshe Feiglin and Tzachi Hanegbi (both Likud), Shuli Mualem-Rafaeli (Habayit Hayehudi), and Nachman Shai (Labor).

“We are appealing to the Americans and telling them, ‘Enough,'” Shai said, according to Israel Hayom. “It’s been almost 30 years. This man has paid everything he owes to American society and American law. Let him go.”

Pollard’s wife Esther said, “Today, after 30 years, there is no one in the world who doesn’t know that the life sentence Jonathan is serving is completely out of proportion and unfair.” Pollard, the only person in U.S. history to receive a life sentence for spying for an American ally.
