Israeli MP likens British to "dogs"
The expulsion of an Israeli 'diplomat' from Britain over the terrorist murder of a Palestinian leader in Dubai has provoked outrage in the Israeli Knesset, comparing the British to "dogs".
"I think [the] British are behaving hypocritically and I don't want to offend dogs on this issue, since some dogs are utterly loyal," said Aryeh Eldad, National Religious Party lawmaker in the Israeli Knesset (parliament), quoted by the Sky News.
"Who are they to judge us on the war on terror," he added.
Eldad said Israel should expel a British diplomat in a "natural reaction" to the expulsion of the Israeli diplomat who is widely reported to be a Mossad operative in the regime's embassy in London.
'The natural reaction should be to expel one of the senior diplomats in the British Embassy, maybe the military attaché or someone on his level," the lawmaker told Sky News on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Foreign Secretary David Miliband ordered the expulsion of the Israeli diplomat over the use of fake British passports in the terror operation that killed Hamas commander Mahmud al-Mabhuhin in his hotel room in Dubai.
According to Dubai police, Mabhouh was drugged and then suffocated in an operation carried out by a 27-member terror squad that used British, German, French, Australian and Irish passports to enter the United Arab Emirates.
The Dubai police chief said that he is 99 percent certain that Mossad had been behind the terror.
Miliband said there were "compelling reasons" to believe Israel was responsible for the use of fake British passports in the terror scheme.
