Lebanon – all countries that do not recognize Israel and do not allow entry to
Israelis, or anyone with an Israeli stamp in their passport," the newspaper

One former Mossad agent recalled in an interview with McClatchy last year that
the Mossad often recruited immigrants from "attractive Western countries" as
agents if they were deemed to have appropriate "profiles." (thanks Amir)
