Benjamin Netanyahu's indictment on corruption charges is likely to refuel concerns among 9/11 critics that a group within the Israeli government was behind the attacks, which, as Netanyahu has bluntly asserted, benefited Israeli foreign policy.
A Wikispooks page, with input from Christopher Bollyn, who has leveled such charges, makes a circumstantial case pointing to Israeli involvement in the attacks and what critics call a coverup.

On Sept. 12, 2001, a New York Times reporter related this exchange:
Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied, ''It's very good.'' Then he edited himself: ''Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.'' He predicted that the attack would ''strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because we've experienced terror over so many decades, but the United States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror.''
Meanwhile, the Times said,
Also seeIn an appearance late tonight, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon repeatedly placed Israel on the same ground as the United States, calling the assault an attack on ''our common values'' and declaring, ''I believe together we can defeat these forces of evil.''
Uzi Landau, Israel's minister for public security, said that the government had never imagined an assault of this size, let alone had its intelligence network gleaned any warning of its approach. He sounded astounded. ''We had a number of different scenarios for large terrorist attack,'' he said in a telephone interview tonight. ''But this particular concerted offensiveagainst the United States, targeting the World Trade buildings, at the same time hitting Washington -- this we didn't consider.''
