Arabländerna använder UNESCO som slagträ mot Israel

Arabstaterna planerar att lägga fram en resolution för UNESCO som säger att Israel inte har någon rätt till Jerusalem. Den här gången är det alltså inte fråga om östra Jerusalem utan hela Jerusalem.

ARAB STATES TO UNESCO: REJECT ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY OVER ALL OF JERUSALEM (Jerusalem Post)

Arab states plan to contest Israeli sovereignty over all of Jerusalem at the upcoming UNESCO Executive Board meeting in Paris, according to a draft text obtained by Israeli officials.

The resolution, due for a vote on May 1, states: “any action taken by Israel, the Occupying Power, to impose its laws, jurisdiction, and administration on the City of Jerusalem, are illegal and therefore null and void and have no validity whatsoever.”

Past resolutions approved by UNESCO boards and committees have refused to accept Israel’s annexation of east Jerusalem, including the Old City.

This text marks the first time that the Arab states have asked a UNESCO board to reject Israeli sovereignty over western Jerusalem.
