‘Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly condemned the latest UNESCO resolution regarding the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which refers to the sacred site solely as a Muslim place.
“This is yet another absurd UN decision. UNESCO ignores the unique historic connection of Judaism to the Temple Mount,” Netanyahu said on Saturday.
The UNESCO resolution refers to Israel as the “occupying power” at every mention, and uses the Arabic term al-Aqsa Mosque without ever calling it the Temple Mount used by Israelis. It also includes the Arabic al-Buraq Plaza when making reference to what Israelis call the Western Wall Plaza.’
