Twenty mayors from around the world who are on a visit to Israel have denounced recent resolutions by UNESCO, the United Nations’ cultural agency, which denied the Jewish historical connection to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, The Times of Israel reported Thursday.
The 20 mayors are visiting Israel this week as part of the 31st International Mayors Conference.
Their statement said that the mayors intended “to work to end politically inspired falsehood and distortions, and to speak the truth about all relevant history.” It slammed UNESCO for “injecting false narratives as part of a disinformation campaign by biased parties,” and demanded that it stop doing so.
The cities whose mayors signed the statement include Beverly Hills and Miami Beach in the United States; Tainan, Taiwan; Lviv, Ukraine; San Miguelito, Panama; Jaen, Spain; and George, South Africa.
