UNESCO fails to declare Western Wall in al-Quds integral part of al-Aqsa Mosque






The final version of the draft resolution was changed in the last minute and the clause was removed. The UNESCO has approved a resolution which criticizes Israel for failing to protect heritage sites and rebuild regions destroyed by war. The resolution also calls on Israel to stop taking provocative measures which violates the sanctity and integrity of the al-Aqsa Mosque. The draft resolution was submitted by Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. Tel Aviv has condemned the resolution and called it a clear endeavor to distort history and appropriate the site.
