The reception, tonight
His lawyer, Nitzana Darshan-Leitner, stated: "I am very excited about the arrival of Pollard and his wife in Israel. There was a great effort to keep their arrival plan from the American media and not announce anything until they arrived in Israel. "As a commitment, the couple will immediately go into solitary confinement. This is Pollard's first sunrise in Jerusalem. We all pray that the pain and suffering of Pollard's long years in prison will be behind him forever."
This year, Pollard was given an Israeli identity card.
On this occasion, Prime Minister Netanyahu congratulated the couple: "Welcome back, how good it is that you came home.
Now you can start life anew, with freedom and happiness.
Now you are at home. "
Jonathan Pollard said: "We are excited to be home finally after 35 years. We thank the people of Israel and the Prime Minister of Israel for bringing us home. There is no one who is more proud of this country or its leader than we are. We hope to become productive citizens as soon as possible and continue our lives here. "A great country. It has a bright future. It is the future of the Jewish people, and we are not going anywhere."
