Israeli protesters call for the release of Jonathan Pollard (portraits), a Jewish American who was arrested in 1985 for giving Israel thousands of secret documents about US espionage in the Arab world, during a protest in Jerusalem on January 2, 2014, outside the hotel where the US Secretary of State is staying during his four-day visit. Pollard is a convicted Israeli spy and a former US Naval civilian intelligence analyst who received a life sentence in the mid 1980s. Israeli MPs handed President Shimon Peres a petition on January 1 urging the United States to release imprisoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, after reports Washington spied on its own allies.
