UN Declares Jerusalem's Temple Mount as Solely Muslim Site

(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - 139 UN countries approved a resolution on Wednesday that referred to the Temple Mount solely as an Islamic holy site called al-Haram al-Sharif. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan said the resolution "completely ignores any link between the Jewish people and the Temple Mount - our holiest site. This is a disgrace. The audacious attempt to rewrite history will not change the indisputable fact that the Jewish connection to the city of Jerusalem dates back thousands of years." Nine countries voted against the Jerusalem resolution, including Australia, Canada, Guatemala, Hungary, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and the U.S. Another 16 abstained. European countries that supported the resolution included Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
