Israel announced that it immediately freezes all its cooperation with Unesco, the United Nations organization for education and culture, following the vote by this organisation of a resolution denying any Jewish connection to the Temple Mount.

Israeli Minister of Education Naftali Bennett made the decision on Friday ‘’because Unesco has given a boost to terror.’’

It means that there will be no meetings with Unesco officials, cooperation in international conference or professional cooperation with the organisation.

"Your decision denies history and encourages terror," Bennett said.

"Those who give prizes to the supporters of Jihad in Jerusalem the same week that two Jews are murdered in the city could god forbid encourage more victims," the minister added.

"The western world stands before Unesco and against terror, just as they oppose terror in Aleppo they must unite against diplomatic terror in Jerusalem,’’ Bennett said.

The minister will hold a meeting next week in order to decide on further steps.
