Australia, May 26, 2010 – According to the Deputy opposition leader Julie Bishop statement announced recently that the Australian government and security agencies are responsible with the passport forgery. This has been prohibited and that provoked the Rudd Government to expel an Israeli diplomat. Ms Bishop turns out to be involved in the fake passports scandal after she named the yesterday’s expulsion “an over-reaction”. She told Fairfax Media: “It would be naive to think that Israel is the only country in the world that has used forged passports, including Australian passports, for security operations.”

In accordance to the report the former cabinet minister in the Howard government Ms Bishop admitted that the Australian intelligence agencies have actually forge passports. This fake passports controversy erupted after the January murder of top Hamas arms dealer Mahmoud Al-Mabouh in a Dubai hotel room.

In the report stated that four of the alleged suspects in the assassination that still in the process travelled on Australian passports in the names of four dual Australian-Israeli citizens. The said Israeli is reported to be responsible on scamming the passports. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith ordered a diplomat at the Israeli embassy to leave after that situation.
