New Zealand cuts Israeli links in spy row

I don't get what this is about. New Zealand says these guys are Mossad but offers no evidence. The only evidence mentioned points to their being shady characters, and the guys have admitted to being criminals. But all that's being alleged is getting a false passport. Why should Israel have to offer an official apology if these two guys are criminals? Do other countries run around apologizing when their criminal citizens obtain false documents? Don't you think that if they were really Mossad, their own organization could have supplied the documents? It sounds like the (very anti-Israel) NZ government is using the incident to score some political points. The world expects a higher standard from Israel than anybody else, so charges of Israeli misbehavior always get wide play.
