Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations - Press Release - November 22, 2020

New York, NY, November 22nd, 2020 - Arthur Stark, Chairman, William Daroff, CEO, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement:

"We welcome the decision by the U.S. Parole Commission to terminate parole for Jonathan Pollard, allowing him to travel anywhere, including Israel, where he has dreamed of living for decades.

This development is long overdue. Since completing his 30-year sentence in 2015, Pollard has been living in accordance with the restrictions of parole.

We hope Pollard and his wife can now enjoy private life."
