Julian Assange praises Netanyahu – for

praising Wikileaks
BY DOC JAZZ · DECEMBER 2, 2010

On December 2, 2010, Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz published an article quoting

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in full praise of Benjamin Netanyahu, “as an example of a world
leader who believes the publications will aid global diplomacy.”

The statements made by Julian Assange corroborate earlier suspicions that drew attention to the
peculiar position of Israel in the storm of events following the latest Wikileaks publications, emerging

 practically as the only country that was mentioned in the leaks but remained unharmed by the
revelations.

Assange, according to Ha’aretz, told Time Magazine on December 1: “We can see the Israeli Prime
Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu coming out with a very interesting statement that leaders should
speak in public like they do in private whenever they can. He believes that the result of this
publication, which makes the sentiments of many privately held beliefs public, are promising a pretty
good [indecipherable] will lead to some kind of increase in the peace process in the Middle East and
particularly in relation to Iran.”

The article also quotes Huseyin Celik, deputy leader of Erdogan’s AKP, as hinting that the leaks were
engineered by Israel. Celik is quoted as saying: “One has to look at which countries are pleased with
these. Israel is very pleased. Israel has been making statements for days, even before the release of
these documents. Documents were released and they immediately said, ‘Israel will not suffer from
this’. How did they know that?”

While Assange continues to be hailed by the public as a whistleblower hero, who exposes the
hypocrisy of under-the-table-diplomacy that is conducted by many governments of the world, voices
of concern of a special relationship between the Israeli government and Wikileaks are also on the
increase.
