Requesting Pollard's Clemency

After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday responded to a plea by Mrs. Esther Pollard requesting that he make a direct request to US President Obama for clemency for Jonathan Pollard by saying he wished to think about it for 24 hours to come to a decision, Bibi has now responded.

INN is reporting that Netanyahu has announced his decision to act on behalf of Mrs. Pollards request and file a formal request with President Obama to grant clemency to Pollard.

Netanyahu's announcement was met with much praise from members of Knesset from various factions who have worked on behalf of Jonathan Pollard's freedom.
