UNESCO motion shows Al-Aqsa of ‘purely Islamic heritage’ — Hamas
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas hails UNESCO’s formal adoption of a resolution effectively denying Jewish and Christian ties to Jerusalem as “a victory for the Palestinian people.”
Sami Abu Zuhri, a spokesman for the Palestinian terror group, says Hamas welcomes the resolution that confirms “Al-Aqsa [Mosque] is of purely Islamic heritage.”
According to Zuhri, the resolution “demolished the Israeli fiction” about the sites considered to be the most sacred in Judaism.
