Tel Aviv’s centrist Ma’ariv argued in a July 26 editorial, “An end must be put to this continuing farce.” Calling for Gillon’s appointment to be dropped, the writer declared, “An ambassador is responsible for cultivating relations with the country in which he serves.”
In its coverage of the Gillon story, the right-wing Hatzofeh of Tel Aviv did not miss an opportunity to attack the Israeli human-rights group B’tselem (July 27): “Dov Laksner, chief rabbi of Denmark, accused B’tselem of inciting the Danish government against Gillon.” The article stated that in a July 26 interview with the right-wing radio station Arutz-Sheva, Laksner commented that he is not interested in defending Gillon because there is no chance to justify actions connected with individuals arrested for terrorism. Hatzofeh also reported that the Israeli Foreign Ministry had advised Israelis not to visit countries that could begin legal proceedings against them. The same warning was reported in Yediot Aharonot (July 27) in an article titled “The Foreign Ministry Warns: We Are in Europe’s Gunsights.” Nevertheless, according to Ha’aretz (Aug. 14), although Amnesty International had asked the Danish government to refuse Gillon’s credentials, citing his activities as head of the Shin Bet, he is expected to assume the diplomatic post on Sept. 11.
