Israeli Justice Minister Yitzhak Modai said his government wants to see the Pollard spy case investigation “accelerated to its maximum.” Speaking with reporters after meeting in Washington with Secretary of State George P. Shultz, Modai said: “Things must be pursued the way American law stipulates. We would like to see that the process is accelerated to its maximum.” Referring to charges by some in the U.S. Justice Department of widespread Israeli spying, Modai added: “If there is more to the case, somebody has to produce the ‘more.’ Otherwise it’s just talk.”
