The Netanyahu administration has been openly working to prevent the PA (Palestinian Authority) from another success in the international arena, namely a PA request to enter Interpol. The PA request is viewed by Israel and a continuation of its effort to become an integral accepted member of the international community.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday, 7 Cheshvan, that Israel’s efforts have been successful. He made his comments speaking to reporters at a ceremony for a new rail system in the Jezreel Valley.

Mr. Netanyahu spoke of the significance of Israel’s victory as entry to the Interpol family would have created a new reality vis-à-vis working with Interpol and its ongoing challenge in the face of international crime and terrorism.
