ISRAEL has refused to replace its top spy in Australia because of lingering mistrust of the federal government, after its Mossad chief was expelled and his name leaked and published during the false passports scandal in 2010.
The Weekend Australian understands that the Israeli government and Mossad blame the Australian government for the name disclosure, believing it was a further political act of retribution for the controversy that arose after forged Australian passports were used by Mossad agents in an operation to assassinate a senior Hamas official in Dubai.
