Jonathan Pollard, 66, has long expressed his desire to settle in Israel for citizenship. The area of spying had strained relations between the United States and Israel for several decades.

Netanyahu went out to the airport to meet Pollard and his wife, Esther, who kissed the land after the plane landed.
