Egypt welcomes UNESCO’s unanimously approved resolutions regarding the conservation of Palestinian sites included in the List of World Heritage in Danger, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday 24/7/2024.
The resolutions were made during UNESCO’s 46th session that was held in New Delhi, India.
The Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls, Hebron’s Old City, the Palestine: Land of Olives and Vines site, and the Cultural Landscape of Southern Jerusalem (Battir) are among the listed Palestinian places.
Egypt rejects the Israeli violations in the West Bank, the Old City of Jerusalem in particular, that aim to change the status quo of the area, the statement stressed.
It reiterated calls for Israel to stop its illegal measures that are meant to change the existing state of East Jerusalem. Israel must abide by relevant international resolutions in this regard, the statement noted.
