Former United States Navy analyst Jonathan Pollard, who served 30 years in prison for spying for Israel, was hosted by Ambassador Mike Huckabee at the United States embassy in Jerusalem, according to a report by The New York Times. The meeting, which reportedly took place in July, was not included on Huckabee's official schedule and was conducted without the knowledge of the White House, raising concerns among intelligence officials. Pollard described the encounter as friendly and noted it was his first visit to a United States government office since moving to Israel after his parole restrictions were lifted. The embassy declined to comment on the details of the meeting, while former diplomats questioned the decision to host Pollard, given his controversial past.
