Reporter Amir Bar Shalom of Israel’s Channel 1 television encountered Jonathan Pollard and his wife on the streets of New York and conducted an impromptu interview that aired on Erev Shabbos.

Pollard said it would “take a miracle” for him to be able to live in Israel

Pollard, convicted of spying for Israel, was released from prison in November after 30 years.

The 62-year-old has strict parole rules that require him to stay in his New York home from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and wear a GPS-monitoring device at all times.
