UNESCO turns its back on reality at instigation of Palestinians
The Palestinians are exploiting their admission to UNESCO as a member state
in order to hijack the agenda and drag this important UN agency into the
abyss of politicized manipulation.
(Communicated by the MFA Spokesperson)
This is a dark day for UNESCO, a day the organization will want to erase
from its history as it demonstrates that it is acting outside the boundary
of reality. Today, in the debates held by the World Heritage Committee in
Phnom Penh, a Palestinian resolution on Jerusalem was submitted to a vote.
Exactly as Israel had warned in the recent past, the Palestinians are
exploiting their admission to UNESCO as a member state in order to hijack
the agenda and drag this important UN agency into the abyss of politicized
manipulation. The resolution, which was adopted against the better judgment
of the majority, is nothing but a heap of statements disconnected from
reality. There is no linkage between the resolution's language and the
actual situation on the ground, as the text only reflects the clichés of the
anti-Israel bubble which the Palestinians cultivate within UNESCO at the
expense of the worthy causes the organization is supposed to promote around
the world.
Israel will uphold its commitments and its sovereign responsibility by
continuing to ensure freedom of worship to all faiths in Jerusalem, even as
UNESCO insists on turning its back on reality and wreaking damage to the
interests of member-states through the regurgitation of the dictates of
Palestinian propaganda. --------------------------------------------
