Netanyahu is set to ask Trump to allow convicted spy for Israel Jonathan Pollard to leave the US and move to Israel, Channel 2 says.

Pollard, who was freed from jail last November after serving 30 years of a life sentence, is required under the terms of his parole to remain in the US for five years, despite his desire to move to Israel.

Former president Barack Obama rejected Netanyahu’s request to allow him to leave the country.
