Jordan Supports UNESCO's Jerusalem Listing
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee unanimously adopted a decision to keep Old Jerusalem and its walls on the List of World Heritage in Danger. This decision was made in response to Israeli measures that threaten the city's cultural heritage and alter its historical and legal status. The resolution affirms that Israeli violations are illegal and contradict international law, calling for an end to all actions that affect Jerusalem’s heritage and the Islamic and Christian holy sites. It also reminds that any changes aimed at altering the city's identity are illegitimate and emphasizes the need to protect Jerusalem’s heritage and defend the rights of worshippers and access to sacred sites. Additionally, the committee condemns Israel’s ongoing excavations and interventions that harm these holy places. These actions resulted from joint Jordanian and Palestinian diplomatic efforts.
