Israel's foreign minister said on Wednesday the use of the identities of foreign-born Israelis by a hit squad suspected of killing Mahmoud al-Mabhouh did not prove the Mossad spy agency assassinated him. Men with the same names as seven of the 11 suspects whose European passport photos were distributed by Dubai live in Israel, and those reached by reporters insisted their identities had been stolen and noted the pictures were not a match. Credit: Reuters/Channel 10 via Reuters TV BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Israel's foreign minister will face sharp questions from his British and Irish counterparts in Brussels on Monday over Israel's alleged use of forged European passports by a team of assassins in Dubai. World Avigdor Lieberman will meet Britain's David Miliband and Ireland's Micheal Martin on the sidelines of a European Union foreign ministers' meeting, with Britain and Ireland wanting answers on what role Israel may have played in the faking of the passports and the killing of a Hamas commander. Maintaining its policy of ambiguity on sensitive issues such as political assassinations, Israel has refused to comment on the January 19 killing of Palestinian Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a luxury hotel room or the allegations of doctored documents. Dubai police say they believe Israeli agents carried out the assassination and have released the identities of 11 people traveling on passports from Britain, Ireland, France and Germany who they say were involved. Several of those people have denied any role or that they have ever visited Dubai, leading investigators to suggest the Israeli overseas spy agency Mossad copied the passports and amended them to allow the assassins to enter the Emirate under false identities and carry out the killing. Ireland's Martin said the issue was serious and he would be seeking an explanation when he meets Lieberman. "I intend ... to underline our deep concern about the fake use of passports in Dubai and to seek reassurance and clarification on this very serious issue," Martin told the Irish Times on Friday. COOPERATION URGED Britain and Ireland called in the Israeli ambassadors last week to discuss the issue, but received little in the way of explanation. The ambassador in London, Ron Prosor, said he was "unable to assist" the British with more information. Miliband has urged Israel to cooperate as Britain conducts its own investigation into the falsified documents and said he would discuss it with Lieberman on Monday, but it is unclear how much light will be shed. Lieberman said last week there was no reason to believe Mossad was involved. Britain's relations with Israel have been strained by the threat of arrest for alleged war crimes faced by senior Israeli officials visiting the UK. In December, Israel's former foreign minister Tzipi Livni canceled a trip to London after British media reported that a magistrate had issued a warrant for her arrest on war crimes charges over the war in Gaza in December 2008-January 2009. A U.N. report found that Israeli troops and Palestinian Hamas militants had committed war crimes in the Gaza war in which up to 1,387 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed. Britain's government has said it is considering curbing courts' powers to issue such warrants for the arrest of foreign officials. France and Germany have also asked Israel for an explanation, but the French and German foreign ministers are not scheduled to attend Monday's foreign ministers' meeting, and it is not clear whether Lieberman will meet their deputies. While only four of the EU's 27 countries are linked to the affair, officials have suggested it may be brought up for discussion at the full foreign ministers' meeting, which would represent a substantial diplomatic escalation. European Commission spokesmen last week repeatedly refused to comment on the issue, saying it was a "bilateral" question between Israel and the other countries. Bringing it up at the EU foreign ministers meeting would be inappropriate, they said.

How may innocent people and combatants have died in pointless wars, how clever is it of Israel to pinpoint their enemies?? I applaud Israel and so should the right thinking world. They have the right to protect themselves, above all else, where was the world when 6 million Jews were perishing, the Palestinians have a choice, follow their leaders who what power and control or decide on peace and posterity by making peace with Israel. Jackson49 Report As Abusive Feb 21, 2010 8:57am EST Izrael’s crime against humanity gets the nod and the applause here in the West. Zionist/fascist Izraelis are killing Palestinians in the occupied Palestine and abroad with UK and EU assistance. The fact that Izraelis are murdering Palestinians with EU Passports is just another proof. Sam85 Report As Abusive Feb 21, 2010 9:06am EST Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at- Agemingle @ co–m a nice and free site for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends. applefun95 Report As Abusive Feb 21, 2010 9:07am EST @jackson49 Applaud Israel? For what? For killing thousands of innocent people? For using white phosphorus in a city, against the Geneva convention? For assassinating people on foreign soil? How about we look at reality? How about realizing that there are 2 evils at work in the middle east, and one of them is Israel. SamSmithers Report As Abusive Feb 21, 2010 9:16am EST Was it the same Mossad team that filmed the Twin Towers fall? Google “Israeli art students and 911″. Robcph Report As Abusive Feb 21, 2010 9:26am EST Jackson49: I applaud Israel and so should the right thinking world. They have the right to protect themselves… You seem to have missed the main focus of this article – it is about identity theft, not the right to defend. Israel does not have the right to steal the identity of foreign nationals – this is a crime. It is not to be applauded. Regarding what you are writing about – if you believe that Israel has the right to defend itself by employing political assassination, then surely it should exercise this ‘right’ without stealing foreign identities? Then we can discuss the ‘right to defend’ (which, incidentally, is a ridiculous argument in this circumstance but no space to deal with that here) without being distracted by the additional crime of identity theft. Finally, I completely agree with your rant about other issues, which are quite unrelated to the article you are commenting on. The world did fail to act sufficiently against the Holocaust, and major powers do wage criminal wars. Three examples could include UK/USA in Iraq, Russia in Chechnya, and Israel in Gaza. Lentyai Report As Abusive Feb 21, 2010 9:48am EST EVERYBODY knows Israel is a rogue nation complete with illegal nuclear weapons, concentration camps and international death squads. The question is how to reel them in before Iran does. ejlorge Report As Abusive Feb 21, 2010 9:55am EST Imagine if Iran used British passports to assassinate an Israeli government official.
