Jonathan Pollard (August 7, 1954) is an American-born Israeli spy and former intelligence analyst who was jailed for spying for Israel.
In 1984, Pollard sold numerous state secrets, including the National Security Agency’s ten-volume manual on how the US gathers its signal intelligence and disclosed the names of thousands of people who had cooperated with US intelligence agencies. He was apprehended in 1985 and in subsequent proceedings agreed to a plea deal and pleaded guilty to spying for and providing top-secret classified information to Israel. Pollard admitted shopping his services—successfully, in some cases—to other countries. In 1987, he was sentenced to life in prison for violations of the Espionage Act.
