Arab League Asks UNESCO to Open Office in East Jerusalem

Setelah UNESCO, Plaestina harus ekspansif lagi ke berbagai
lembaga/organisasi dunia seperti Liga Arab, Kerjasama Kawasan Teluk, dll.
Kalau perlu meskipun tidak dalam kawasan ASEAN, Palestina kita terima
sebagai anggota kehormatan ASEAN.

*Mohammed Aziz Ben Ashour, the general director of the Arab League
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ALESCO) *asked UNESCO on
Tuesday to open an office in East Jerusalem to document and protect against
attacks on Arab Islamic and Christian heritage.

Ben Ashour told Palestinian government news wire Wafa on Monday that
accepting Palestine as a member in UNESCO was a historical success for
Palestinians and their cause. He continued that the presence of Palestine
in UNESCO would act as a shield for its heritage and Palestinian identity.

He credited the UNESCO vote, which passed overwhelmingly last week and cost
the UN body 22% of its funding when the US withdrew, to the efforts of
Palestinian leaders and work by ALESCO.

Ben Ashour said that Palestinian membership in UNESCO opens doors in their
quest to get attain full membership in the United Nations, starting with
the defense of their heritage and identify. He expressed his happiness that
Palestine would soon be able to repair its heritage sites and put them on
UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.
