Top Palestinian Official Denied Entry to Egypt
2017-03-01
They may be loved in principle, but they're so good at making themselves unwelcome wherever they go.
[AnNahar] A senior Paleostinian official has been denied entry to Egypt, prompting a Paleostinian delegation to withdraw in protest from a counter-terrorism conference he was to attend, officials said Tuesday.

' Fatah party, told AFP he was "surprised by the Egyptian security decision to ban me from entering Egypt."

Rajoub, who also heads the Paleostinian Football Association, said the Egyptian minister of youth and sports had been waiting at the airport to meet him.

An Egyptian airport official said Rajoub was rejected "on the instruction of one of the Egyptian security services," without giving further details.

Paleostinian Justice Minister Ali Abu Diak, who was scheduled to participate with Rajoub in the conference in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, announced that he was withdrawing in protest, a Paleostinian official said.

#1  Rajoub has had a long career. He is about 64 and has personally led torture/interrogations of Palestinians, planned terror bombings and had critics of Yassar Arafat killed without trial.

Why he isn't the stat speaker at an arab counter terrorism conference is a surprise to me.
