Esther Pollard: "counting the seconds to hug Jonathan"

After the US Parole Commission, decided that the Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard would be released from prison in four months on Friday 8th Kislev affair, his wife addressed a first anticipated release.

"After an unimaginable period of 30 years, Jonathan finished his sentence in full until the last day," she said with emotion, "I cannot wait, I am counting the days, minutes and seconds until I could hug Jonathan and begin to build our lives together again".

"At this moment, I feel obliged to thank so many people who have been with us all along, but if I started I knew there was no way I could finish. I hope to have the opportunity to thank each and every one of you personally."

"I know that many are relieved and want to share our joy but I am sure all of you, both the public and the media, realize that what Jonathan and I need it now more than anything is a life of peace and quiet that will allow us to be individuals and rebuild our lives."

"I'm sure you all understand this and sure to help us fulfill our dream to return to normal people living their lives quietly and discreetly. Thank you very much, we love you dearly!"

Although the release is expected in four months, however, according to his lawyers, Eliot Lauer and Jacques Zemmelman, Pollard would have to stay in the US for 5 years. Pollard is expected to live in New York.

Pollard's attorney, attorney Larry Dub, said: "He is said to be released as a prisoner in the United States who served two thirds of the sentence.
