| Israel to replace diplomat expelled by UK: report |
| 2010-03-25 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Israel may soon replace a diplomat Britain has said it will expel over the use of forged British passports by suspected killers of a Hamas commander in Dubai, Israeli media reported on Wednesday, as Australia said it would not be rushed into action against Israel over the same case. Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's most widely read news daily, said the diplomat being sent home was actually a Mossad intelligence agent, and that he would fly back to Israel after the Passover holiday early next month. Israel could replace the agent with another as ties between the two countries have not been seriously harmed, the newspaper said. Army Radio carried a similar report. |

| #3 Funny that Israel didn't get all upset about this and expel an British diplomat. |

| #2 There's actually a substantial community of Irish Jews who settled in Israel after 1948 -- a daughter of the community wrote a paper about it for my writing club. Many rose to high position in their fields -- it's apparently common to be greeted in the emergency room of one of the major Israeli hospitals by the head of the program saying, in his beautiful brogue, "Sure, and what might be the matter with you, then?" |
