POLLARD SUES ISRAELI GOVT TO FORCE SPY SWAP

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 21, 2005

On 20th Anniversary of His Arrest, Pollard Sues Israeli Govt to Force Spy
Swap

Pollard: "Israeli who spied against the Jewish State for U.S. must be
arrested, interrogated and traded for my freedom."

Imprisoned Israeli agent, Jonathan Pollard, has instructed his attorneys to
file suit in Israel's High Court of Justice, today November 21, 1985, the
20th anniversary of his arrest.

Pollard's petition asks the Supreme Court to compel the Government of Israel
to arrest Angie Kilciensky --- a self-confessed Israeli traitor who spied
for the United States and exposed Pollard -- to interrogate him, and then
initiate a spy swap to return Kielcynski to the US and Pollard to Israel.

Angie Kielcynski, (aka Yosef Barak) an Israeli Likud party activist (not an
MK) was appointed by Arik Sharon to the party's Security Committee in 1985.
He took advantage of his appointment to this Committee and his access to
classified information to spy for the U.S.

Kielcynski was exposed in 2001 when the New York Law Journal,
www.jonathanpollard.org/2001/022701.htm reported on his lawsuit against the
CIA to collect pension and benefits for his services from 1985 to 1991. His
lawsuit stated that he had provided the CIA with valuable information,
including the information about Jonathan Pollard which led to his arrest and
incarceration. The US Court did not question the validity of Kielcynski's
claims but declined to hear the
suit for fear that classified information might be compromised in the
process.

Despite his open admission in the media that he spied for the US, Kielcynski
was neither detained nor interrogated by Israeli security services when
returned to live in Israel in 2001.

Attorney Nitsana Darshan Leitner is representing Pollard, and will file the
petition on his behalf today. Attorney Larry Dub is of counsel.

Jonathan Pollard summed up his 20 year experience of dealing with the
Israeli Government as follows: "Let me paraphrase an old quote, from Abba
Eban: The Government of Israel has never missed an opportunity to miss an
opportunity to free
me. How else is it possible for successive governments to be 'toiling' for
20 years to secure my release, without making even a single centimeter of
progress? No one can be that incompetent!"
