Israel has said it will join the US in pulling out of the UN's cultural organisation Unesco, after US officials cited "anti-Israel bias", BBC reported.
Israel to join US in quitting Unesco
STEPANAKERT, OCTOBER 13, ARTSAKHPRESS: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu tweeted he had instructed his foreign ministry to "prepare Israel's withdrawal... in parallel with the United States".
“This is a brave and moral decision, because Unesco has become a theatre of absurd. Instead of preserving history, it distorts it,” he said in the statement, according to the Guardian.
Then earlier this year, Mr Netanyahu condemned Unesco for declaring the Old City of Hebron in the West Bank a Palestinian World Heritage site.
He accused Unesco of ignoring Judaism's ancient connection to the city, which includes the crypt where its matriarchs and patriarchs are buried.
