JOINT COORDINATION AND COOPERATION COMMITTEE FOR MUTUAL SECURITY PURPOSES (JSC)
Organization created in May 1994, within the framework of the Israeli-Palestinian accord on the application of Palestinian autonomy (Oslo Accords II), for the purpose of coordinating the actions of Palestinian and Israeli police in the West Bank and Gaza. After the coming to power in Israel of Benjamin Netanyahu in June 1996, the Israeli government secured the presence of the American CIA on this committee to advise the Palestinian police on combating terrorism and also to serve as an arbiter in case of disagreement.
