Muslim delegates reportedly are using procedural moves to block progress on allowing Israel’s relief agency to join the Red Cross. 
Officials of the International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed Tuesday that the validity of the meeting regarding Magen David Adom was being challenged. 
Delegates at this week’s meeting in Geneva reportedly were set to adopt Magen David Adom into the Red Cross under a compromise that would allow the agency’s Jewish star to be placed inside a diamond, or crystal, if a particular country demands it.
