UNESCO to vote Monday on resolution rejecting Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem
Ramallah - Arab Today
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is set to vote on Monday on a resolution to reject Israeli sovereignty over occupied East Jerusalem, Israel Today said.
The Israeli paper noted that UNESCO's anticipated vote comes as part of a series of exceptional resolutions in light of its anti-Israel stance.
According to Israel's Ynet, the Israeli embassies in the 58 countries that make up the organization's executive board and the Israeli Foreign Ministry are working to convince as many countries as possible to vote against the resolution, but it is likely to pass regardless due to the automatic majority Arab nations have.
The administration of US President Donald Trump is also working to pressure UNESCO and the member nations to postpone the vote or alternatively oppose it, Ynet added.

The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
