A group of Israeli legislators is planning to present President Clinton with a petition calling for Jonathan Pollard’s release, according to a spokesman for Cabinet Secretary Danny Naveh. The announcement came as Pollard’s wife, Esther, played a tape before a Knesset committee in which the former U.S. naval intelligence analyst jailed for life on charges of spying for Israel accused the Jewish state of abandoning him while his health deteriorates in a U.S. jail.
