Gordon Brown has also ordered an inquiry into the passports, which bear the names of six British-Israelis who are not the men pictured.
Dubai police believe 11 "agents with European passports" killed Palestinian militant Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
The Israelis deny its secret service, Mossad, carried out the assassination.
Israel's foreign minister said there was no evidence to link Mossad but refused to issue any formal denial in line with a "policy of ambiguity" on security matters.
Avigdor Lieberman told Israeli Army Radio: "There is no reason to think that it was the Israeli Mossad and not some other intelligence service or country up to some mischief."
'Full investigation'
It is expected that the Israeli Ambassador, Ron Prosor, will meet with Sir Peter Ricketts, head of the diplomatic service, on Thursday.
The Serious Organised Crime Agency has been asked to look into the fraudulent use of the passports.
It has confirmed that photographs and signatures on the passports used in Dubai do not match those on passports issued by the UK.
