Multiple outlets report U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee met privately with Jonathan Pollard - the former U.S. Navy analyst convicted of spying for Israel - inside the Jerusalem embassy in July. The meeting was reportedly off Huckabee's public schedule and "alarmed" the CIA station chief. Huckabee's office declined details; Pollard called it "friendly." Here's what happened, why it breaks diplomatic norms, and the blowback.

Key facts I cover:
• Huckabee is the current U.S. ambassador to Israel (confirmed April 9, 2025).
• Reports say the embassy meeting with Pollard was unlisted and raised CIA concerns.
• Pollard's background: convicted in 1985, paroled 2015, moved to Israel 2020.
