Pollard Tied to Peace Process

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has decided to publicly and officially appeal to president Obama to release Jonathan Pollard. As response to these proclamations, US government officials indicated that Netanyahu's request could be tied to considerations of peace talks with the Palestinians. State department's spokesman P.J. Crowly claimed that Pollards' Issue was mentioned with regards to the Mid East peace process both in the past and in the present. He added that although Pollard's case's promptness is understandable, the peace process is US's top priority thus any subject other than this particular matter will be evaluated within these terms.
