The United States has warned Israel of potentially embarrassing information being disclosed as a result of a massive document release by Wikileaks. The release is said to be imminent.
The US Embassy in Tel Aviv has informed the Prime Minister's Office that the website WikiLeaks was planning on releasing US diplomatic cables, of which some may deal with Israel-America relations.Other countries warned include Britain, Australia, Canada, Denmark and Norway. The documents were scheduled for release as early as Friday (this post was prepared on Friday before the Sabbath started).
The reason the US gave for informing the Israeli government is that they wanted to make sure Israel was prepared for publicity that might cause diplomatic embarrassment, and would not be surprised by the findings.
