Shas chairman Eli Yishai sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend, in which he asked the PM to push for the release of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard during his visit to the United States...
Several MKs joined Yishai's plea and gave Netanyahu a letter on the subject addressed to U.S. President Barack Obama.
Netanyahu, however, has no plans of taking the letter with him to the United States.
"The Prime Minister has brought up Pollard's case several times in discussions with the U.S. government, so he does not need to do so through a letter. The proper procedure for transferring letters is to send them in an official manner to the U.S. embassy in Israel," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.
But will he bring up this visit, again?
