I respectfully disagree. Countries *must* protect their passports - it’s a matter of sovereignty.
I'm not talking about this, specifically. But this, in conjunction with their official state support for the quarantine busting in Gaza (also in support of Hamas), starts to make one think.
(Yes, they should officially protest the forgery of passports...but, as it stands, everybody does it in the cloak-and-dagger world...and a very public statement like an expulsion puts it in a completely different realm than an official protest registered to the ambassador)
