Convicted spy for Israel Jonathan Pollard has been granted parole and will be released from an American jail on Nov. 21, his lawyer announced Tuesday.

OBAMA!!!

What purpose could there be other than to placate Netanyahu, and will it have the desired effect?

It may also be to show that Obama is not anti-Israel in an attempt to shore up support for the Iran deal. But I doubt it will have the desired effect.

Or it could be that he was up for parole anyway.

Actually, upon reading the article it is clear the Obama administration had little or nothing to do with the decision...

like that matters

Yeah, in jail for how long, nearly 30 years? Was up for parole. Seems straight forward. It isn't as if he is going to be allowed into a position to spy any more.

Yeah. The parole hearing was mandatory, his risk for reoffense is basically zero. Of course he was released.

It's not that clear cut. If I understood correctly, he had a parole hearing last year also, and in that case the parole was denied. So what changed this year?

I know a lawyer who worked on the case in the past.

There is the claim that Pollard's information caused the death of some American assets. That might explain why he wasn't released before.
