On September 27, 2017, at the annual meeting of Interpol’s General Assembly, member nations voted to admit the Palestinian Authority (Authority or PA) to Interpol. The U.S. opposed this decision, which was taken in the face of persuasive evidence that the Authority sought to join Interpol as part of its political war against Israel. The Authority is also likely to use Interpol to pursue its Palestinian opponents and may seek to use it to harass friends of Israel abroad as well as Israeli politicians, officials, or citizens.
