The Israel Bonds Organization has taken a low profile in the U.S. since exposure of the Jonathan Pollard spy case, its world president Yehuda Helevy disclosed Monday.
Halevy told Israel Radio that the Pollard affair would cause a temporary suspension of Bonds activity among non-Jewish organizations, including commercial firms, banks and pension funds. Those bodies are said to account for 30-35 percent of annual Bonds sales in the U.S.
Halevy said at the opening of the Bonds conference in Haifa Sunday that a record $603 million worth of Israel Bonds were sold last year.
