Interpol on Wednesday approved the Palestinian Authority’s membership bid, a new victory in its drive for international representation despite strong Israeli opposition.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tIsrael lobbies hard against Palestinian efforts to join global organizations to advance their goal of statehood. It claimed victory last year when the Palestinian bid to join the global police body was suspended, AFP reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tInterpol approved the Palestinian application along with a bid by the Solomon Islands during its annual general assembly in Beijing.<\/p>\n

\n\t“New member countries State of Palestine and Solomon Islands bring INTERPOL’s membership to 192,” it said on its Twitter account.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt did not detail the voting but candidacies require the approval of a two-thirds majority of countries present at the general assembly, excluding abstentions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Palestine Liberation Organization’s negotiations affairs department said on Twitter they had received more than 75 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n

\n\t“Palestine’s membership is the outcome of members defending this organization’s raison d’etre and advancing its core values, and a clear rejection of attempts at cynical manipulation and political bullying,” Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael’s foreign ministry did not immediately comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tPalestine gained observer status at the United Nations in 2012 and since then has joined more than 50 international organizations and agreements, according to the Palestinian Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong them are the International Criminal Court and the United Nations heritage body UNESCO.<\/p>\n

\n\tInterpol, which is based in the French city of Lyon, eases the exchange of information between police forces and issues “red notices” \u2013 non-binding notifications of arrest warrants \u2013 at the request of a member state or an international tribunal.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t‘Israel blocks progress’<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSenior Palestinian official Jibril Rajoub had told AFP on Sunday that “we’re looking to be in all of the international institutions, including Interpol, as an organized state.”<\/p>\n

\n\t“We are looking for the Palestinian state to be a positive contributor toward security and stability in the region and in the international community,” he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tRegarding Israel’s opposition, he said: “They don’t want any progress toward a Palestinian state.”<\/p>\n

\n\t“Israel does not want us to be in FIFA. How would they want us to be in Interpol?” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
