We will issue a warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest if it turns out Israeli intelligence was behind last month's killing of a Hamas strongman, Army Radio quoted Dubai's police commissioner on Thursday.
Dubai's police chief Dahi Halfan referred to the January 20 assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was reportedly responsible for the smuggling of Iranian arms to Gaza.
"Benjamin Netanyahu will be the first one wanted, since he is the one that signed the decision to execute al-Mabhouh," Halfan added, claiming that the killers' modus operandi was "typical Mossad."
On Wednesday, Dubai's police chief warned international intelligence agencies from working "behind our back," saying anyone who did so "should be wary of his own back.
Halfan added that that threat was also applicable "to any intelligence organization around the world, whether Mossad, Hamas or any other agency."
The Dubai police chief added that he believed the Hamas leader was in Dubai for business and not for any kind of arms transactions.
Halfan added that if Al-Mabhouh would have been interested in meeting Iranian officials in Dubai, as the Israeli media has claimed, he could have done so in either Syria or Iran itself.
The Dubai police commissioner refused to reveal the identity of the suspects linked to the incident, denying a Hamas claim that the assassins had entered the country by participating in Minister Uzi Landau's entourage, when he visited Dubai earlier that month.
