Editing Jacobo Timerman (section)

==Release and exile==
On 19 September 1979, the [[Argentine Supreme Court of Justice]] responded to a ''[[habeas corpus]]'' petition and ordered Timerman's immediate release. On 20 September, the government held a large secret meeting to decide its response. Some military leaders wanted to disobey the ruling, but President Videla and others threatened resignation, insisting on Timerman's release. On 25 September, the Foreign Ministry confirmed that Israel would accept Timerman. His Argentine citizenship was revoked, and he was placed on a flight to Madrid, en route to Israel.<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), pp. 2, 14.</ref> One of the escorting Israelis, Pinhas Avivi, advised Timerman to remain quiet about his imprisonment.<ref>Mochkofsky, ''Timerman'' (2004), p.</ref> He disregarded this advice and gave a press conference by telephone as soon as he landed in Madrid.<ref name=HT2001 /> He traveled to Israel, arriving in time for [[Yom Kippur]].<ref>Timerman, ''Prisoner Without a Name'' (1981), p. 163.
