    “Pensioners Affairs Minister Rafi Eitan has been invited to a dinner organised by the Israeli prime minister and other members of the government in honour of the US president,” said Eitan’s spokeswoman Ela Bar-Or.

    Eitan, a member of Israel’s security cabinet, was the old Mossad handler for Jonathan Pollard, an American Jew sentenced to life in prison for spying on Israel.

    Pollard had passed thousands of secret documents about US spy activities in the Arab world to Israel between May 1984 and his arrest in November 1985.

    At the time of the affair, Eitan was head of the Bureau of Scientific Relations, an Israeli secret service which was later broken up.

    When he was found out, Pollard sought the protection of the Israeli embassy in Washington, but was refused access and later arrested by the FBI. [meo]
