Zionist entity suspends cooperation with UNESCO after al-Quds draft

The illegal Zionist entity has suspended its cooperation with UNESCO a day after the UN cultural agency denounced the regime over its violations in Jerusalem al-Quds.

On Thursday, UNESCO adopted a draft resolution that strongly condemned "the escalating Israeli aggression and illegal measures against… the freedom of worship and Muslims’ access to their holy site al-Aqsa Mosque/al-Haram al-Sharif," compound in the occupied Old City of al-Quds.

UNESCO called on "Israel, the occupying power, to respect the historic status quo and to immediately stop these measures.”

The UN body also condemned the “continuous storming of Haram al-Sharif by the Israeli right-wing extremists and uniformed forces.”

The draft resolution, which aimed to "safeguard the Palestinian cultural heritage and the distinctive character of east Jerusalem," has infuriated the Israeli officials.
