A Dubai police photo allegedly shows two suspects in the assassination of Mahmud al-Mabhuh, a founder of the military wing of the Islamist Hamas movement.
"It's now up to the Poles to decide if they are going to hand him over to Germany."
Israel's foreign ministry confirmed that "an Israeli national was arrested in Poland," adding that "the consulate of Israel is dealing with the case."
According to an article to be published in Der Spiegel on Monday, the suspect identified as Uri Brodsky was arrested in early June on arrival at Warsaw's airport on suspicions that he helped a member of the hit squad get a German passport in June 2009.
Mahmud al-Mabhuh, a founder of the military wing of the Islamist Hamas movement which controls the Gaza Strip, was found dead in his room in the Al Bustan Rotana hotel near Dubai airport on January 20.
Dubai police have released extensive surveillance camera footage they say shows the team of suspects from the hit squad they have linked to the Mossad. The Hamas man had been drugged and then suffocated.
Twelve British, six Irish, four French, one German and three Australian passports were used by 26 people believed linked to the murder, according to Dubai police.
In many cases, the travel documents appeared either to have been faked or obtained illegally.
The issue caused a diplomatic row in which the five countries whose passports were used called in Israeli envoys for talks.
