Aviv Gefen, the immensely popular Israeli singer and entertainer, was recently interviewed on The Yair Lapid Show (Channel 2, 3 April 2006), where he surprised the prime time TV host by speaking of his desire to meet Jonathan Pollard. Here is how the conversation went:

Yair Lapid (recovers): That's right...
