UNESCO Set to Vote on Anti-‘Israeli’ Resolution

Local Editor

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO] is set to vote on a resolution that describes ‘Israel' as an occupying power, denying its sovereignty claims over all of occupied al-Quds [Jerusalem].

The UN heritage body will on Tuesday vote on the resolution, which describes as null and void any decision by the ‘Israeli' occupying power, its parliament, its Supreme Court, or any other ‘Israeli' authority that pertains to al-Quds.

The resolution is reportedly drafted with the help of Germany, which also led efforts for the vote's timing.

The measure also slams the Zionist excavations in eastern al-Quds and the Old City.

The motion is expected to be approved despite ‘Israel's' intense attempts to exert pressure on the members of the UN body to vote against it.

Italy is the only country that has decided not to support the resolution.

Last year, the UNESCO approved a motion that endorses the right of the Palestinians to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and slams ‘Israeli' provocations around the holy site.

The occupied Palestinian territories have witnessed new tensions ever since the occupation forces imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds in August 2015.

More than 300 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Zionist forces in the tensions since the beginning of October 2015.

The Tel Aviv apartheid regime has tried to change the demographic makeup of al-Quds over the past decades by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites, and expelling the local Palestinian population.

Palestinians say the ‘Israeli' measures are aimed at paving the way for the Judaization of the city.

In December 2016, the UN Security Council adopted a historic resolution that condemns ‘Israeli' settlement activities as a flagrant violation of international law.
