Hamas calls for pressing Israel to respect UNESCO’s resolution

Friday 21-October-2016

The Hamas Movement has appealed to the international community to pressure Israel to recognize the UNESCO’s resolution on the Aqsa Mosque and stop its violations against it.

This came during a sit-in organized Thursday by the Islamic Bloc outside the UNESCO headquarters in Gaza.

“It is time for the international community and the UN organizations to pressure the occupation state to recognize the UNESCO’s resolution and implement it practically on the ground at the Aqsa Mosque” Hamas spokesman Abdul-Latif al-Qanua said during the sit-in.

Qanua also slammed outgoing UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon for criticizing the UNESCO’s resolution on the Aqsa Mosque describing his remarks in this regard as a blatant bias in favor of the Israeli occupation.
