WASHINGTON – A source in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's entourage in Washington
said that Netanyahu discussed the issue of the limitations imposed on Jonathan
Pollard as terms for his release with White House officials. Pollard, who was
released from prison in 2015, served 30 years in prison for spying for Israel and,
among other limitations, is barred from leaving the United States. "It was agreed
that Israeli ambassador [to the United States] Ron Dermer would deal personally with
the matter vis-à-vis the White House," the source said.
On Thursday, Netanyahu met with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and among other
things, the two discussed American support for Israel at the United Nations. A source
in the Israeli delegation in Washington noted that the two sides agreed to work together
on a systematic basis to change the United Nations' attitude toward Israel. The prime
minister and senior Trump administration officials discussed the possibility of asking
for the United Nations to change its approach to Israel coupled with a threat to cut
off American funding for UN institutions, a source in the entourage said.
An Israeli source said the prime minister also spoke to Pence about ways to advance
American recognition of Israel's 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights. The source
added that in the near future, a mechanism would be developed for talks between
Israel and the White House on the subject of construction in West Bank Jewish
settlements. "We intend to reach an understanding," the source said.
