Israel’s Foreign Secretary Avigdor Lieberman told Israel’s Army Radio that there was “no reason to believe Israel was involved”.
He added: "I think Britain recognises that Israel is a responsible country and that our security activity is conducted according to very clear, cautious and responsible rules of the game."
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) has also been brought in to investigate the use of British documents.
Israel’s ambassador Ron Prosor will attend a meeting at the Foreign Office to discuss the killing of a Hamas leader in Dubai, where the British passports of Israeli immigrants were used to conceal the identity of some of the killers.
A Foreign Office spokesman said the meeting was because of the “links to Israel of a number the British nationals affected.”
At least seven of the members of the Dubai assassination team, who killed Mr al-Mabhouh, had passports with the names of real people, six British and one German.
All of the “real names” were men who had made aliyah to Israel.
