MFA Response to the Palestinian attempt at UNESCO to declare the Wailing
Wall as "a Muslim holy site"
This is a clear endeavor to distort history, in order to erase the
connection between the Jewish People and its holiest site, and to create a
false reality.

In view of Palestinian attempts to bring about resolutions at UNESCO which
constitute a distortion of reality and a falsification of historical facts
in Jerusalem, thus purporting to present the Wailing Wall as if it were a
Muslim holy site, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, headed by Director
General Dr. Dore Gold, is actively working to put a stop to this underhanded
maneuver.

The vote on the Palestinian maneuver is expected tomorrow, Tuesday 20
October, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is engaged with friendly
countries and with the heads of UNESCO in order to ensure that this
Palestinian attempt fails.

This is a clear endeavor to distort history, in order to erase the
connection between the Jewish People and its holiest site, and to create a
false reality.
