Peres to Pollard activists: Obama has his own considerations

After activists campaigning for the release of Jonathan Pollard called on Shimon Peres to approach US President Barack Obama regarding a pardon as soon as possible, the Israeli president said he would do all he can, but stressed that his next meeting with the American leader is scheduled for June 13. "There are other American considerations that I am not familiar with," Peres said.

On Friday Pollard was admitted to a hospital in North Carolina after his condition deteriorated. (Kobi Nahshoni)
