UNESCO approves resolution on Palestinians’ right to al-Aqsa compound

‘The United Nations cultural and scientific agency has adopted a resolution reaffirming the right of the Palestinians to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds.
A spokesman for the Paris-based UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said that the agency’s executive board passed the measure by consensus on Tuesday.
A draft of the resolution, titled “Occupied Palestine,” had already been approved by the UNESCO commission last week.
Twenty-four countries voted in favor of the UNESCO resolution on October 11, twenty-six states abstained from voting, while six countries – the United States, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Lithuania and Estonia – opposed the motion.’
