Netanyahu orders envoy to UNESCO home
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms he is ordering home Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO for consultations after the UN body passed a second resolution in as many weeks denying a Jewish connection to Jerusalem holy sites.
“The theater of the absurd continues, and so I decided to recall our ambassador to UNESCO back to Israel for consultations,” Netanyahu says at an event in Herzliya.
Then “we will decide what to do, what our next steps will be toward this organization,” he says.
