Explanation

Members of the group of rich nations, the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development), on May 10, 2010 have voted unanimously to invite Israel to join, despite Palestinian objections. Joining the OECD is likely to boost Israel's economic standing and help attract investment. The 31-member OECD said Slovenia and Estonia would also be invited to join. The Organisation's Secretary-General, Angel Gurria, hailed the move as a “new chapter” in the body's history.
