FROM POLITICAL ADVISER
VISIT BY COMMISSIONER OF POLICE TO ISRAEL
1. THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE HAS BEEN INVITED TO VISIT THE ISRAEL NATIONAL POLICE. HE IS CONSIDERING A THREE DAY VISIT LATER THIS YEAR AFTER HIS ANNUAL LEAVE. IT IS LIKELY THAT DISCUSSIONS WILL INCLUDE TERRORISM, ORGANISED CRIME AND DRUG TRAFFICKING.
THE COMMISSIONER OF THE ISRAEL NATIONAL POLICE VISITED HONG KONG IN
NOVEMBER 1988.
2. WE ARE INCLINED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE COMMISSIONER SHOULD NOT TAKE UP THE INVITATION GIVEN THE CURRENT SENSITIVITIES, BOTH HERE AND IN THE UK, OVER THE ROLE OF THE POLICE IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES. I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO KNOW WHAT ADVICE YOU WOULD
GIVE ON VISITS BY UK POLICE.
3. GRATEFUL FOR REPLY BY 3 FEBRUARY IF POSSIBLE.
