UNESCO slams Israel’s ‘illegal’ acts in East al-Quds as occupying power

‘The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has passed a resolution, denouncing Israel’s “illegal” practices in East Jerusalem al-Quds and describing the regime as an “occupying power.”
The Jordanian-sponsored resolution was approved during a session of UNESCO’s 21-member World Heritage Committee in the southern Polish city of Krakow on Tuesday. Ten countries voted for, three against and eight abstained.
The resolution slammed “the failure of the Israeli occupying authorities to cease the persistent excavations, tunneling, works, projects and other illegal practices in East Jerusalem [al-Quds], particularly in and around the Old City of Jerusalem, which are illegal under international law.”
It further called Israel “the occupying power” and reaffirmed UN resolutions that rejected the regime’s claims to East Jerusalem al-Quds.’
