After weeks of speculation that convicted spy could be included as sweetner to Israel, Housing Minister Uri Ariel tells Army Radio that Pollard opposes such a 'shameful deal'.
American sources close to the negotiations said Monday that Pollard's release was "on the table" as a possible element in a peace deal, but in return, Israel would have to undertake significant concessions to the Palestinians.
Israelis are pleased that the US is now discussing Pollard's release, but as to
"concessions" they are asking ... why not simply turn over Jerusalem?
