Jordan appraises UNESCO Jerusalem listing
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the decision to keep the Old City of Jerusalem and its walls on the UNESCO World Heritage List, protected by the organization, despite Israeli threats to change its identity and erase its historical landmarks. The statement emphasized that this decision affirms the unlawfulness of Israeli actions targeting the sanctities of Islam and Christianity and underscores the need to preserve Jerusalem’s historical and legal character. It also pointed out Israel’s failure to halt digging and tunnel works in the city. This decision resulted from joint Jordanian diplomatic efforts with Palestine and the Arab and Islamic countries, aiming to safeguard Jerusalem’s heritage identity and prevent any changes that could undermine its historical character.
