המרגל לשעבר ג'ונתן פולארד מצטרף למפלגת 'ישראל תחילה' של שרן הסקל לקראת הבחירות

הערכה

Jonathan Pollard, the former American intelligence analyst whose espionage for Israel became a decades long diplomatic flashpoint, is now entering Israeli electoral politics. His decision to join Sharren Haskel's Israel First party injects a figure with deep symbolic resonance into a campaign where national security credentials carry weight. The move gives Haskel a prominent ally who embodies a certain strain of Israeli patriotism, but it also ties her party to a controversial legacy that could alienate voters focused on Israel's relationship with the United States. Watch whether Pollard actively campaigns or remains a figurehead, and how other parties respond to his presence on the ballot.
