Former U.S. Navy analyst turned Israeli spy, Jonathan Pollard, was released on parole in the United States after 30 years in prison.
"The people of Israel welcome the release of Jonathan Pollard," Israel's Prime Minister Ben Netanyahu said in a statement. "After three long and difficult decades, Jonathan has been reunited with his family."
Pollard was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted in 1987 of passing reams of classified information to Israel. Now 61, he wants to move to Israel and receive substantial Israeli government back-pay.
