"The High Court of Justice on Thursday rejected a petition submitted by Jonathan Pollard who was convicted of spying on behalf of Israel, demanding that Jerusalem acts for his release from an American prison.
A panel of three Justices accepted the state's argument that there was no room for legal intervention in diplomatic affairs.
Pollard was convicted twenty-one years ago of spying for Israel and was sentenced for life. All attempts bringing to his release have failed and he is currently being held at a North Carolina prison."

"In her verdict, Justice Ayala Prcaccia said "the petition was bound to be rejected for the reason that this court tends not to become involved in matters that mainly concern the complex relations between the U.S. and Israel."
"According to the state Israel is taking various measures to bring about Pollard's release, some of them on open channels, some in covert ways, and there is no room for judicial intervention in this matter," she said."
