Jonathan Pollard, who was jailed for spying for Israel, is to be freed on November 21 after the US granted his parole, according to his lawyers.
The former US Navy intelligence officer will be required to remain in the United States for five years after his release.
Pollard, 60, has served 30 years of a life sentence.
His former wife, Anne Pollard, gave an interview to an Israeli television channel at the weekend, in which she said: “I just want to see him out, I can’t bear it any more, that he sat and lost all of his life in jail, it’s a crime, it’s such a crime”.
