Canadian officials expressed anger over the weekend over the apparent use of stolen or forged Canadian passports in the bungled assassination attempt on a Hamas leader in Amman, allegedly by Mossad agents.
The Canadian government, declaring the use of its passports by foreign agents to be unacceptable, recalled its ambassador, David Berger, for consultations and said it was considering further action.
'We've asked a number of questions and we hope to get answers to these questions in the coming days after the Israeli government goes back to business on Sunday,' Berger told reporters at Ben-Gurion Airport, before departing for Ottawa on Friday.
The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem expressed regret over the ambassador's recall. 'We regret the Canadian statement,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Aviv Shiron said in a statement Friday. 'We would like to emphasize the Israeli wish to continue the good and friendly relations with Canada. We think the scope and firmness of the Israeli- Canadian relationship could contribute to overcoming the current difficulties.'
