The National Bureau for the Defense of Land and Resistance of
Settlement, welcomed the adoption by the World Heritage Committee of the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization -
UNESCO at its 42nd meeting in the Bahraini capital, Manama, the two
important resolutions on the cities of Jerusalem and Hebron unanimously
agreed by the 21 members of the World Heritage Committee. The
resolutions call for the cessation of violations that would change the
character of the city. The occupation authorities tried to drop the two
resolutions, but failed. Thus, the National Bureau considers this vote
as a victory for Palestine in light of settlement escalation, and in
conjunction with the fierce aggression against the Islamic and Christian
sanctities and the confiscation of our land. For further information, please click the following link: www.nbprs.ps |
