Activists rallying for the release of Jonathan Pollard will hold a demonstration outside of the the official residence of President Shimon Peres on the eve of Obama's arrival in Israel next week.

The rally will be held at 6:30 on Tuesday evening after which activists will hand over the petition which has been circulating online and which bears the names of about 150,000 people demanding `pollard's release. 

Activists have asked supporters not to hold any rallies on Pollard's behalf during Obama's time in Israel.
