Hamas Movement welcomed on Tuesday UNESCO final vote on Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque.
Spokesman for the Movement Sami Abu Zuhri considered the decision as a victory to the Palestinian cause.
The vote came after Israel has made all possible efforts to cancel UNESCO’s initial decision he said.
For his part member of Hamas’ political bureau Ezzet al-Resheq welcomed the final vote considering it a victory to the international community despite the Israeli pressures.
UNESCO adopted Tuesday a final decision that denied any Jewish connection to the Aqsa Mosque compound and the Western Wall (al-Buraq Wall) and their surrounding areas.
UNESCO Administrative Committee announced that a new vote would take place on Tuesday on the Jerusalem resolution after Mexico changed its position under Israeli pressures.
Haaretz Hebrew newspaper earlier revealed that the Jewish community in Mexico protested against the country’s position in favour of the resolution and exerted pressures on the Mexican government to change its decision.
