Speaking with Arutz Sheva, Anne expressed her continued disappointment in the Jewish state: “No one in the Israeli government lifted a finger to help me leave one day early from my sentence.” She also said that she was “very, very ill in prison, ” but was not given any clemency for her health issues.
Jonathan filed for divorce after she left jail, claiming that he expected to spend the rest of his life in prison. Once her parole ended, Anne made aliyah.
