Commuting Pollard's sentence at this particular moment in Trump's presidency will help cement the blossoming post-Obama relationship between the United States and one of its staunchest allies - Israel
President Trump's delay in moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem presents the President with a wonderful opportunity to commute Jonathan Pollard's sentence - freeing Pollard to move from New York to Jerusalem.
Trump made his unequivocal Embassy pledge on 22 March 2016:
"We will move the American embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem."
