JERUSALEM [url=http://www.soccerarsenalshop.com/...ine-Adelaide-Jersey/]Jeff Reine-Adelaide Jersey[/url] , Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Israel on Wednesday was fumed over a vote by the Interpol that approved the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) as a member in the international police body.
Earlier in the day, Palestinian membership to the Interpol was approved by 74 to 24 votes, exceeding the two-thirds requirement of the yes-to-no ratio.
The decision was made despite Israel's diplomatic campaign to thwart the vote.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the approval. In a meeting in Jerusalem with U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Jason Greenblatt, and U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, Netanyahu charged that the resolution "violates signed agreements with Israel."
Netanyahu said the actions of the Palestinian leadership in recent days severely impairs the chances of achieving peace and added that the Palestinian diplomatic warfare would not go unanswered [url=http://www.soccerarsenalshop.com/...ack-Wilshere-Jersey/]Jack Wilshere Jersey[/url] , according to a statement released on his behalf.
Israel's Minister of Environmental Protection, Zeev Elkin, who is also a close ally of Netanyahu, said Israel should "cancel gestures granted to the Palestinians," including work permits in Israel [url=http://www.soccerarsenalshop.com/...tor-Bellerin-Jersey/]Hector Bellerin Jersey[/url] , and special travel permits for Palestinian leaders.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak condemned it as "yet another failure" for Netanyahu.
The PNA applauded the approval. "This victory was realized because the majority of the Interpol members defended the raisons d'etre of the organization and basic principles," said Palestinian Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Minister Riad Malki.
He added that the approval reflects the trust of the international community in Palestine's capabilities.
"Palestine will commit to obligations and contribute to combating crime and law enforcement on the international level," Malki noted.
The move was part of the Palestinian campaign to gain international diplomatic recognition as a state.
Established in 1923, Interpol is the world's largest police organization aimed to struggle crime and terrorism. Currently, it has 192 members after the admission of Solomon Islands and Palestine on Wednesday.

Federal contractors on Tuesday began building prototypes of President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico, hitting a milestone toward a key campaign pledge.
A man is detained by Border Patrol officials as he tries to climb a fence after breaching border fencing separating San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico, Tuesday [url=http://www.soccerarsenalshop.com/Authentic-Gabriel-Jersey/]Gabriel Jersey[/url] , Sept. 26, 2017, in San Diego.
Construction of eight models in a remote area of San Diego is about three months behind schedule, held up by losing bidders whose protests were eventually denied. A green tarp hanging on a chain-link fence blocked views of the work, which is expected to last 30 days.
Customs and Border Protection may pick several winners [url=http://www.soccerarsenalshop.com/...cis-Coquelin-Jersey/]Francis Coquelin Jersey[/url] , or none. Roy Villarreal, acting chief of the Border Patrol’s San Diego sector, said another contractor will evaluate each model, which will be up to 30 feet (9 meters) high and 30 feet long.
“It may not result in a singular winner. It may be a combination of designs being implemented,” Villarreal told reporters next to existing border fencing.
As agents prepared for the news conference [url=http://www.soccerarsenalshop.com/...ano-Martinez-Jersey/]Emiliano Martinez Jersey[/url] , a Mexican man breached the fence, cut his hand and was arrested.
The construction site is about 2 miles (3 kilometers) east of San Diego’s Otay Mesa border crossing at the end of steel-mesh fence that runs from the Pacific Ocean.
San Diego police and the county sheriff’s department have helped set up a “free speech zone” nearby for people to demonstrate. Villarreal said he knew of no organized plans to protest.
Bidding documents say four of the prototypes are to be solid concrete and four are to be made of “other materials.” Trump said Friday that the wall should be see-through, apparently at odds with the initial instructions for solid concrete.
Villarreal said the concrete designs would be built with openings to allow agents to see across the border.
The administration faces several federal lawsuits in San Diego that seek to block the prototypes and plans to replace existing barriers in California.
A complaint filed last week by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, largely mirrors two others by environmental advocacy groups that allege the administration overstepped its authority to speed up construction of the wall.
At issue is a 2005 law that gave the Homeland Security secretary broad powers to waive dozens of laws for border barriers [url=http://www.soccerarsenalshop.com/...David-Ospina-Jersey/]David Ospina Jersey[/url] , including the National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Air Act and Endangered Species Act. The lawsuits say that authority has expired.
The administration has not commented directly on the lawsuits. It has issued
two waivers since August, the first ones since 2008, on grounds of national
security. Both waivers are in California, including one that covers the site of
