Israel cuts UN payment by $1 million over UNESCO vote
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will cut its required payment to the United Nations by $1 million following the adoption of a UNESCO resolution that rejects Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem.
“The outrageous UNESCO decision and this kind of harassment has a price,” Netanyahu says.
In recent months, Israel slashed a total of $8 million in UN dues following what it saw as anti-Israel measures at the UN Human Rights Council and the Security Council.
