The Israeli ambassador in London has been called in to the Foreign Office this morning to "share information" about the use of faked British passports by an alleged hit squad suspected of killing a member of Hamas in Dubai. Israel says there is no evidence that its security service Mossad had any involvement in the killing.

Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen comments on Israeli reaction to the affair.
