Pollard affair tests U S Israel ties but gains soothe
Israel issued a public apology to the United States over the Jonathan Pollard spy case after a phone talk between George Shultz and Shimon Peres. Officials hope the friendly relationship remains intact as Israel promises to disband any suspect espionage unit, repay documents, and cooperate with the FBI. Analysts view the case as notable amid a climate of frequent spying and strong alliance, and some say it may cause temporary public grumbling without long term damage.
