Interpol allows Palestine in

PALESTINE’S foreign minister praised Interpol yesterday for approving his country’s affiliation in defiance of occupying Israel.

Riyad al-Malki called the decision, taken at the global law enforcement agency’s general assembly in Beijing, “a vote of confidence in Palestine’s law enforcement capabilities and commitment to the core values of the organisation.

“Palestine’s admission to Interpol is a victory for law enforcement and global co-operation.”
