President Donald Trump will likely attend the unveiling of the new US embassy in Jerusalem, according to a report by Channel 2 Sunday evening.

While the White House has remained mum on whether the president will take part in the historic ceremony marking the official transfer of the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the president has suggested recently he may fly to Israel for the event.

On Friday, President Trump hinted at a possible trip to Israel for the country’s 70th Independence Day.

"Jerusalem has been promised for many years. [Past presidents] have all made campaign promises, but never had the courage to do it. So I might go," President Trump said at a press conference Friday.

The 70th anniversary of the state’s establishment, according to the Gregorian calendar, falls in May 14th, the date chosen by US State Department officials for the opening of the new embassy.

A report in March said Trump would not attend the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem due to scheduling conflicts.

It was reported that in the president’s place, Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner would represent the administration at the embassy's opening ceremony.

According to a report by Channel 2 Sunday night, President Trump is in fact planning on attending the ceremony marking the opening of the ceremony, though no final decision has yet been made.

In addition, the report claims that the president is strongly considering requests to issue a presidential pardon to convicted spy Jonathan Pollard.

The 63-year-old former civilian analyst for the US Navy was convicted in 1985 and sentenced to life imprisonment, but was paroled in November 2015, after having served 30 years in federal prison.

The pardon would enable Pollard and his wife to immigrate to Israel, removing the restrictions imposed by his parole.

Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud) urged President Trump to pardon the ex-spy.

Speaking at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York Sunday, Katz said such a move would “make the celebration” of Israel’s 70th Independence Day and the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem “even happier”.

“I would like to ask our great friend President Trump, to give the Israeli public one more present, and to allow Jonathan Pollard to come to Israel, and celebrate with us in Jerusalem.”

Gawd, the security setup will be humongous.

Of course Trump will pardon Pollock. Any enemy of America is a friend of his

Gawd, the security setup will be humongous.

Israel will effectively protect it like many of the high value locations it already has in Jerusalem, such as the Knesset, Temple Mount, etc.

Of course Trump will pardon Pollock. Any enemy of America is a friend of his

He got an unfair sentence, as we can see recently, the justice department hasn't been the most equal handed or honest, especially when it comes to these kinds of things.

What would you say is a fair sentence for stealing U.S. secrets to use them against us?

Duh, that's so stupid! How about...what others received for the samecrime?!

You know your messiah Hussein Obama was going to pardon him as well, before he was pressured by the lunatics on the left not to:


http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/10-injustices-pollards-release-will-never-fix/

1. The life sentence was unprecedented

Pollard’s sentence of life imprisonment in 1985 was then — and remains today — unprecedented, excessive, grossly disproportionate and unfair, and amounts to a denial of equality before the law. No other American who has pleaded guilty to spying for a US ally has ever been sentenced to life. In such cases, the usual sentence is no more than eight years, with actual time served averaging two to four years or less.

2. The plea bargain was breached

Second, beyond being unjust in itself, the sentence breached the plea bargain according to which prosecutors had agreed not to seek life imprisonment in return for Pollard’s guilty plea, his co-operation with authorities, and the waiving of his right to trial by jury. The plea also saved the government the problems of conducting a trial involving highly sensitive information, and at which Pollard might well have been acquitted of the more serious charges. Indeed, Judge Stephen F. Williams of the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit later described this breach as a “complete and gross miscarriage of justice.”

3. Caspar Weinberger’s secret declaration

Pollard’s sentence was imposed as a result of the submission — after the plea bargain and again in violation of it — of a prejudicial, ex parte affidavit to the sentencing judge by then-Secretary of Defence Caspar Weinberger. Pollard never saw the Weinberger Declaration, nor was he able to challenge it. In his submission, Weinberger claimed that Pollard had compromised American national security, was guilty of “treason,” and should never be released. However, in a 2002 interview, Weinberger admitted that, in retrospect, the Pollard matter was “comparatively minor.” Nevertheless, the secret Weinberger Declaration has continued to underpin the falsity of the allegations against Pollard, and to undermine the validity of his case and defence, whether in seeking appellate review, or clemency or parole.

4. Weinberger hated Israel

Senior US officials who served with Weinberger have since accused him of harbouring an intense bias against Israel that unjustly impacted Pollard’s punishment and sentence. For example, Robert C. “Bud” McFarlane, who served as US National Security Advisor in the Reagan administration, and worked closely with Secretary Weinberger, wrote in 2012 that “the affidavit filed by former Secretary of Defence Caspar Weinberger was surely inspired in large part by his deeply held animus toward the State of Israel.” Dr. Lawrence J. Korb, who served as Assistant Secretary of Defence under Weinberger during the period that included Pollard’s arrest, wrote in 2010 that “I can say with confidence that the severity of Pollard’s sentence is the result of an almost visceral dislike of Israel … on the part of my boss at the time, Secretary of Defence Casper Weinberger.”

5. The charge was never treason…

Pollard has repeatedly and misleadingly been accused of treason — by the media, as well as by officials of the departments of Defence, State, and Justice — despite never having been charged with it, and often by reliance on the secret — and discredited — Weinberger declaration. Indeed, as recently as Pollard’s parole hearing in July 2014, the prosecution falsely asserted — and the Parole Commission accepted without review — that Pollard’s actions were “the greatest compromise of US security to that date.”

6. …and Eastern Europe intel was never breached

False accusations have likewise been made by US government agencies that Pollard compromised intelligence operations in Eastern Europe and was consequently implicated in the deaths of American informants. Yet, these accusations were never part of his indictment, and no evidence for them has ever been adduced. In fact, the architect of these treasonable acts, and the source of the disinformation against Pollard, was none other than senior CIA official Aldrich Ames, who pleaded guilty to them in 1994.

7. The intel Pollard divulged was limited

The declassification in 2012 of a 1987 CIA damage assessment concerning Pollard confirms, in the words of Lawrence Korb, that “Pollard did not divulge the most sensitive US national security programs” and “provided intelligence only on the Soviet Union’s activities in the Middle East.” (The document also reveals that, whereas the sentencing judge overturned the plea agreement because Pollard had spoken to the media in supposed violation of the agreement’s terms, the interview had in fact been authorized by the government.)

8. He had ineffective counsel

Pollard was deprived early on of his right to effective legal counsel, as his attorney at the time of sentencing neglected to file a notice of intent to appeal following the prejudicial sentencing hearing. Pollard was therefore precluded from appealing his life sentence.

9. Top officials support his release

Virtually everyone who held a senior government position and dealt with the ramifications of what Pollard did at the time supports his release. They include former Secretary of State George Shultz, FBI director and subsequent CIA director William Webster, and respective chairmen of the senate intelligence and house intelligence committees, David Durenberger and Lee Hamilton. Indeed, Sen. Durenberger has expressed his “surprise at the sentence given Jonathan Pollard compared to others” and argued that “the harshness of Pollard’s sentence … was uncalled-for.”

10. A deeply flawed parole process

Finally, many of these injustices were compounded at the time of Pollard’s unsuccessful 2014 parole application. In particular, secret evidence from the Weinberger affidavit was invoked by the prosecution and relied upon by the Parole Commission, despite the fact that neither Pollard’s attorneys — who had security clearance — nor the members of the Commission themselves were permitted to view the document on security grounds. In the words of Pollard’s lawyers, the 2014 hearing was “a disingenuous and deeply flawed parole process that reached an unsound conclusion based on discredited 28-year old statements buried in a secret file, and in complete disregard of compelling contrary evidence.”

Ultimately, it must be remembered that Pollard fully honored the very plea agreement that the government violated; he fully cooperated with authorities; he has expressed remorse for his actions; he has been a model prisoner for 30 years; he is now aging and in deteriorating health; and most egregiously, he has repeatedly been falsely accused of a crime he did not commit — treason — and unjustly sentenced to life in prison for the crime he did commit.

As such, while Pollard’s release on parole this fall will end his long-standing wrongful imprisonment, it will not in itself rectify the litany of wrongs to which he has been subjected. In the interest of justice, the injustice of Pollard’s excessively unfair and severe treatment must be acknowledged and denounced.

Why do neo Nazis always bring in their fantasies about blowing Jewish penises? But thanks for making my point about Trump being called a White "Supreeemist", while he's been the best US president for Israel so far!

But he didn't have a strong opinion or objection at all when Obama traded five top Taliban terrorists for a US deserter that committed treason, and a few American soldiers to die when they went looking for him. Of course the piece of shit Obama called him a hero.
