About a month ago, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that the Parole Board had decided not to extend the restrictions imposed on Pollard after his release from prison about five years ago. This meant that Pollard would be able to leave the United States to any destination he wished - including Israel. "The Board found that there was no evidence leading to the conclusion that Pollard would be likely to violate the law," the board wrote in its reasoning. Pollard was released in 2015 after about 30 years in which he served a prison sentence in the United States. After being convicted of spying for Israel. Upon his release, restrictive conditions were imposed on him for five years, including a ban on leaving a certain area of ​​New York, wearing an electronic handcuff that constantly monitors his location, nightly house arrest, constant monitoring of his computer at home and at work, and avoiding contact with the media.
