Israel has formally notified UNESCO of its withdrawal from the education and science organization, joining the U.S.
The Israeli government sent its official notice Friday, and it will leave the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization effective Dec. 31, 2018.

Both the U.S. and Israel announced they would be leaving UNESCO in October. In an announcement explaining its decision, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said the U.S. would be withdrawing from the organization because of a “continuing anti-Israel bias.”
The U.S. officially notified UNESCO of its decision to leave in October, and like Israel, the withdrawal will also take effect Dec. 31, 2018.
