Religious Leaders Urge UNESCO Inclusion of Sapstiya
A religious grassroots initiative in Sebastia, sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Sebastia Municipality, is working to encourage UNESCO to include the archaeological sites in the town on the World Heritage List. This effort is part of Palestinian endeavors to protect the site from the threats of Judaization and colonial policies. Religious leaders have confirmed that inclusion would bolster Palestinian historical identity and raise global awareness of Sebastia’s significance as a cradle of civilizations. The matter will be discussed at UNESCO between July 24 and 27.
