Mossad tales

I must confess that I was not pleased at all with the coverage by As-Safir and by Al-Akhbar of this tale of Mossad success from the 1950s.  The source is an Israeli newspaper and can't be corroborated by any other sources.  This coverage only unwittingly gives a platform to Mossad propaganda.  Even when you read the story, you don't get one evidence of success of this spy.  I mean, the claim to fame is that he shook hands with foreign ministers.  In the 1950s, any creature--including monkeys--would have been able to walk to a meeting of Arab foreign ministers and shake hands with them.  I say: such stories should be ignored.
