The PLO's pushing for membership in Interpol, and it turns out the organization's more than fully willing to accept them, even defying Israeli/American requests not to:

Despite a specific request by the White House to back off its attempts to evade direct talks with Israel by continuing unilateral efforts to gain independent sovereignty via the United Nations, the Palestinian Authority is again seeking full membership in the International Police Organization – better known as Interpol.

[...] There are numerous concerns involved if the Palestinian Authority is admitted to the ranks of Interpol as the so-called “State of Palestine,” not the least of which being that the entity is not legally an independent sovereign state and did not comply with the internationally-recognized Oslo Accords to fulfill the conditions necessary for reaching that status.

Moreover, there are serious concerns in the Jewish State that if the PA is approved for membership, it will press for arrest warrants against top Israeli officials and other Israeli citizens in the ongoing campaign of lawfare it has waged against Israel in other international arenas.

But perhaps the greatest concern lies within the realm of international espionage and intelligence in the war on terror. Israel is deeply worried that sensitive counter-terrorism information it has already shared, and any it might share in the future with other member states, could be compromised were the Palestinian Authority to share access.

More than a few security officers with the Palestinian Authority security forces themselves have turned out to be murderous terrorists who have ultimately attacked their Israeli counterparts.

And unfortunately, the update says Israel's failed to convince Interpol to delay a vote on the issue. It's clear that Interpol's otherwise unreliable on these issues, and just like the UN, they too will have to be defunded.

Update: here's another report on the Algemeiner.
