On Israel’s Independence Day, UNESCO Vote
to Declare Israel Has No Right to West
Jerusalem Either

It is time to pray for Israel because right now things are going Contrary to the Word of God as written “At that time they shall call Yerushalayim
the throne of Hashem; and all the nations
shall be gathered unto it, to the name of
Hashem, to Yerushalayim; neither shall
they walk any more after the stubbornness
of their evil heart.” Jeremiah 3:17 (The
Israel Bible™)

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will celebrate
Israel’s Independence Day next week by voting
on anti-Israel resolutions. The resolutions will be
presented to the Executive Board in Paris and
will expand on previous UNESCO declarations by
declaring the Jewish presence in West Jerusalem
to be illegal.

Diplomatic sources informed the Jerusalem Post
that the focus of the new resolutions will be to
challenge Israeli sovereignty in all of Jerusalem.
An initial draft composed by ten European
countries was presented to UNESCO last month
by a group of Arab states. The draft stated that
“any action taken by Israel, the Occupying
Power, to impose its laws, jurisdiction, and
administration on the City of Jerusalem, are
illegal and therefore null and void and have no
validity whatsoever.”

The wording of this resolution goes further than
previous UNESCO resolutions, which negated the
Jewish connection to East Jerusalem and its holy
sites while granting a religious monopoly of the
city to Islam. If accepted next week, this will be
the first time UNESCO has undermined Jewish
sovereignty in West Jerusalem.

The resolution is also expected to reaffirm that
the Jewish holy sites in Hebron and Bethlehem
are Muslim. As in previous UNESCO resolutions,
the Cave of the Patriarchs is referred to as
Ibrahimi Mosque, and the Tomb of Rachel is
referred to as Bilal bin Rabah Mosque, both
being “an integral part of Palestine”.
“UNESCO has returned to the ritual of political
anti-Israeli decisions that undermines anything
Israel does in Jerusalem,” the Foreign Ministry
said in a statement on Thursday.

The UNESCO move to separate West Jerusalem
from Israel comes at a curious time, when both
Russia and the United States are supporting
Israel’s claim to the city. Israel is waiting for US
President Donald Trump to actualize his
campaign promise to move the embassy to
Jerusalem. Trump’s ambassador to the UN, Nikki
Haley, has been highly critical of the
organization’s anti-Israel bias. Earlier this
month, an announcement appeared on the
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website that
concluded with the startling statement that
Russia views West Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel. The UNESCO resolution is in direct
contradiction of the Jerusalem policy of both
major world powers.

The vote falls on Israel Independence day, three
weeks before Israel will celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the unification of Jerusalem.
Israel integrated East Jerusalem after the
military victory in the 1967 Six-Day War, and in
1980 passed the Jerusalem Law, declaring the
city to be its capital in entirety.

At present, the International Christian Embassy
Jerusalem (ICEJ ) is the only embassy to the
Jewish State in Israel’s capital. This policy,
however, is not even-handed. Of the 50
embassies to the Palestinian Authority in Israel,
seven, including the Vatican embassy, are
located in Jerusalem.



Now, this is call on all Christians who cares to intercede in prayers for Israel.

Prayer Starts: Now
Ends: Until God makes Jerusalem a praise in the face of the earth. Give Him no rest!
