Jonathan Pollard, the Israeli spy who spent 30 years in prison in the United States and has now had his restrictions removed, published a letter and photos of himself today (Sunday) while cutting the electronic handcuff attached to him since his release five years ago.
"Thirty years ago, my beloved wife Esther found her way to me for the first time, in the best-preserved Marion Prison, where I was imprisoned in a three-story underground dungeon, behind 13 locks and keys," Pollard wrote in the letter.
"Against all odds, Esther came to me, cut the handcuffs over my heart and brought my soul back to life," Pollard continued.
"This was the time when the struggle for freedom began for the first time." Today, Esther cut the electronic handcuff from my arm (with the approval of the authorities), thus restoring my almost complete freedom to me. "
Pollard added that" as the last step to freedom remains our return home, to the country and people we love.
With the help of the name very soon. "He said," Esther is moved from the bottom of our hearts to thank all the wonderful people in Israel and the United States who fought for us over the long years on the road to freedom.
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the letters you have sent and are sent to us, and in particular for your prayers throughout the years. "
"My almost complete freedom is back to me."

"Finally, and due to Esther's complex medical condition, we thank our friends and family for understanding our need to go through the time spent in the United States as long as necessary, quietly and calmly, and immigrate to Israel in a way that ensures Esther's continued treatment most effectively, while maintaining a low profile. ", The couple clarified in the letter.
