snip - Senior Israeli officials are considering a deal in which the moratorium on building starts in West Bank settlements would be extended for three months in exchange for the release of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard from the United States, Army Radio reported Monday.

According to the report, Israeli sources submitted the potential deal to US sources in Washington, but it was not known if or how they reacted.



So - Israeli sources offered up the extension in exchange for Pollard.......convicted criminal. This reeks of extortion. Some ally.....
