In an interview with Arutz 7's Hebrew news service, MK Marina Solodkin (Kadima) Party said she did not see a difference between the struggle to free kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit and the struggle you free American-Jewish prisoner Jonathan Pollard.



"I was active for fourteen years for Pollard. I saw all the efforts Israel made with the U.S. government. Today I went to the demonstration at the Bridge of Strings [in Jerusalem] and I sat with the young religious people. It is very important we hold a rally of thousands in front of the American embassy to demand the release of Pollard."



She said after the Pollard rally she went to the protest tent in front of the Prime Minister's office for Gilad Shalit. She said both causes were of national importance.
