Herzog condemns ‘anti-Semitic’ UNESCO resolution
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog joins the chorus of Israeli officials condemning the UNESCO resolution denying Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem, calling the measure “anti-Semitic and anti-Israel.”
“This [resolution] is an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel disgrace that distorts the history of the Jewish people and their unshakable connection to their capital, Jerusalem,” he says in a statement.
“This is a miserable, baseless and aggressive decision that will find itself in the garbage can of history, just like the accusation that Zionism is racism,” he adds.
