Bibi: WikiLeaks Proves Israel Is Right on Iran
A raft of controversial diplomatic secrets published by the WikiLeaks group has not damaged Israel and in fact strengthened its position, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday.
A collection of over 250,000 classified U.S. dispatches released by WikiLeaks caused global diplomatic turmoil and discomfort for the United States, which had warned allies ahead of publication to prepare from embarrassment.
Revelations that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton questioned the mental health of Argentina’s president and that America asked its diplomats to snoop on the United Nations may prove awkward for Washington.
