Posted By on January 30, 2022

The wife of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard was rushed to the hospital Saturday due to complications arising from COVID-19.

According to a statement calling for public prayers released by the family on Sunday, Esther Pollard, who has been battling cancer for several years, was hospitalized following a deterioration in her condition after contracting the coronavirus two weeks ago.

A spokesman for the family confirmed reports that Pollard is suffering from a case of sepsis brought on by her infection and told Haaretz that further updates would be made public when new information is available.

Esther and Jonathan Pollard were married while the latter was serving a multi-decade prison sentence in the United States, convicted on charges of espionage for Israel while he served as an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Navys counterterrorism center.

He served 30 years in an American prison and five years on strict parole before immigrating to Israel in December 2020.
