Islamic Bloc Wants UN Action to Stop Heritage Sites Renovation
(AFP-Ynet News) The Islamic bloc at the UN has called for international action to force Israel to rescind its decision to renovate two holy sites in the West Bank. Syria's UN Ambassador Bashar Jaafari, speaking on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) UN ambassadors, condemned the "illegality and illegitimacy" of the Israeli decision which they view as "null and void." They called on all relevant UN bodies "to take urgent, necessary measures to force Israel to rescind this decision."
