Mike Huckabee met Jonathan J. Pollard in July at the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. Pollard was a former Navy civilian intelligence analyst sentenced to life in prison in 1987 for selling a large cache of military secrets to Israel and served 30 years. Israel granted Pollard citizenship in 1995 and he relocated to Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed him upon arrival in 2020. Officials kept the meeting off Huckabee's official schedule, the CIA station in Israel expressed alarm, and the White House was not notified, prompting concern among senior U.S. officials.
