Israel Angered Over UNESCO Upcoming Declaration on Ancient Jericho
The Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom reported, on Sunday, that there is a state of anger among the Israeli official authorities, due to the upcoming announcement by the United Nations UNESCO, to recognize the "Old Jericho" site as a world heritage site located in Palestine.
According to the Hebrew newspaper, the UN organization will hold a conference after two weeks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and will announce from there that the heritage site is international and is located in Palestine, not "Israel".
The newspaper expected that the resolution would be passed easily because there is an automatic majority in favor of the Palestinians.
Knesset members sent a sharp message to the international organization, calling for the cancellation of the vote on such a decision, claiming that the region is part of the history of Jewish heritage.
