Pollard says did not get money from State
Israeli spy imprisoned in US demands Israel admit it had not given him, his wife any monetary assistance since his arrest over two decades ago, despite announcing contrary

<snip>

"Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, who is completing his 23rd year of a life sentence in the United States, filed a lawsuit Monday with the Tel Aviv District Court seeking declaratory relief.

Pollard‘s lawsuit was aimed at setting the record that he and his wife Esther never received any money from the State of Israel, from the day of his arrest to the present.

In his lawsuit, Pollard states that neither he nor his wife are interested in receiving money from the State, and that his sole purpose is to put an end to the lies Israel disseminates, lies which he says have been severely undermining the public struggle for his release.

The lawsuit maintains that Pollard and his wife, Esther, have been abandoned by the State. It points out that they live in grave distress, both financially and in general. All of their expenses are funded by what little money Pollard's wife has, and with the support of a few close friends.

The lawsuit reveals, for the first time, a letter from then-Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak to Knesset Member Rehavam Zeevi, which states unequivocally that the State of Israel does not give any money to Pollard and does not have a bank account for him.

According to Pollard's lawyer, Attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, "The State is throwing sand in the public's eyes and is shamelessly lying to the court when it claims it financially supports Pollard and his wife."
