Contentious UNESCO resolution on Jerusalem shelved

[IsraelTimes] Sponsors fail to garner enough ’yes’ votes; Israeli diplomats have been working to stymie draft’s passage, official says

The UN’s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) delayed Tuesday a controversial vote on a draft resolution that would challenge Jewish historical ties to the Old City of Jerusalem.

The vote was postponed minutes before the proceedings began when the Paleostinian and Jordanian delegations, which had proposed the resolution, could not secure enough votes to ensure its passage. It is unclear if and when they will propose the resolution again.
