Edelstein says Israel waiting for Pollard

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein says “he hopes the news that came tonight from the US on Jonathan Pollard’s expected release will come true.”

“I had the honor of being the first minister who visited him in prison,” says Edelstein, who himself was a prisoner in the former Soviet Union.

“Jonathan, our brother, we’re waiting for you in Israel!” he says.
