Well they couldn’t very well have used Israeli passports now could they.
There’s what, 140-something countries in the world? Couldn’t have forged a Syrian or Libyan passport??
This, at a time when Israel is trying to drum up support among Western countries for action against Iran. So what do they do?

Maybe the Mossad head should write a book - “How to Lose Friends and Not Influence People”.
