Jordanian diplomacy preserves Jerusalem's UNESCO status
Jordanian diplomatic efforts successfully persuaded the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to unanimously agree to keep the Old City of Jerusalem and its walls on the list of World Heritage in Danger, despite Israeli actions threatening the heritage and changing the legal and historical status of the city. The decision affirms the illegitimacy of Israeli violations against holy sites and the right to worship, emphasizing the need to protect Jerusalem's heritage. It also highlights Israel's failure to halt excavation works and tunnel construction in East Jerusalem, as well as its refusal to appoint a permanent UNESCO representative in the city. This decision follows intensive Jordanian diplomatic efforts, supported by Palestine and Arab and Islamic countries, to preserve Jerusalem's historical and legal identity.
