Lapid hails Pollard release

Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid welcomes the Pollard release but says it “brings justice too late.”

“It would have been better if Pollard, after years of suffering in an American prison, would have been released earlier,” he says. “We praise today’s decision. The entire Jewish people is waiting to see him come home.”
