Anne Pollard -- the first wife of the American-Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard -- is suing the Israeli security establishment for millions of dollars for "injustices" caused to her in the years leading up to his release from prison, and is demanding to be officially recognized as an Israeli operative, the Times of Israel website reports today (November 22, 2015).
The Pollards were arrested in 1985 in the U.S. for espionage. Anne served three and a half years in prison, and her former husband was released on November 20, after serving 30 years. To mark the occasion, Ann Pollard returned from Israel -- where she now lives -- to Washington, D.C., where the two were arrested almost exactly 30 years ago.
Anne Pollard is seeking millions of dollars in reparations from Israel, as she claimed her image had been deliberately tarnished by Israeli officials, who she said even portrayed her as "insane." Also, she is demanding to be formally recognized as an Israeli agent.
After Anne's parole, Jonathan Pollard filed for divorce, claiming that he did not want her to have to wait for him, as he expected to spend the rest of his life in jail. But once the divorce was finalized, Pollard -- who can be viewed as a modern-day Judas for betraying the United States for money -- remarried, and his new wife, Esther, began to work on the campaign to secure his release.
