ISRAEL: Waiting for the WikiLeaks shoe to drop, still cleaning up past messes
As elsewhere, readers and leaders in Israel were waiting on Sunday for the WikiLeaks shoe to drop. Israel is included in a long list of countries that received a heads up from the U.S. about possible diplomatic embarrassment ahead.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday afternoon he didn't expect Israel to be the center of attention, although the American tip didn't specifically indicate what would be exposed. Netanyahu said there was always an "information gap" between what was said in public and private but that in Israel's case the gap wasn't "too big." That remains to be seen.
