U.S. Will Pull Out of UNESCO at End of 2018 Due to 'Anti-Israel Bias'


By Bridget Johnson October 12, 2017


WASHINGTON -- Citing bias against Israel, the Trump administration today withdrew the United States from United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization but has asked the body's director if the U.S. can stick around as an observer.
The U.S. won't withdraw until Dec. 31, 2018.
In July, UNESCO declared the West Bank town of Hebron to be a world heritage site belonging to Palestine. "The centre of interest of the town was the site of Al-Ibrahimi Mosque/The tomb of the Patriarchs whose buildings are in a compound built in the 1st century AD to protect the tombs of the patriarch Abraham/Ibrahim and his family," reads the UNESCO description. "This place became a site of pilgrimage for the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam."
In protest, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yanked $1 million in funding from the UN and redirected the funds toward preservation projects on Hebron's Jewish history. He slammed it as “another delusional UNESCO decision" as the Palestinian Authority hailed victory in their "diplomatic battle."
