Auckland High Court Justice Judith Potter Thursday sentenced the two men to six months in jail. She ordered them both to pay 50,000 NZ dollars (32,800 US dollars) to the Cerebral Palsy Society after they used the name of a disabled man in their bid to get a false passport.

Clark said it was not the first time Israel had sought fraudulently to obtain passports from another country.

Israeli officials made no comment about the allegations that the pair were members of the Mossad overseas intelligence agency.
