Jonathan Pollard appears to rule out running for the Knesset with MK Itamar Ben Gvir, after a report said the far-right leader was considering offering the convicted Israeli spy a spot in his Otzma Yehudit party.
“It’s important to me to contribute to the nation of Israel, but my place isn’t in the Knesset. I think I’ve already suffered enough,” Pollard, who served 30 years in US federal prison, is quoted as saying by Channel 12 news.
