Israel Suspends Cooperation with UNESCO over Jerusalem Vote

"Israel will suspend its cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) following its resolution erasing the Jewish connection to Jerusalem's holy sites, Education Minister Naftali Bennett announced Friday.

Bennett, who serves as president of Israel's National Commission for UNESCO, said the organization, in its decision, was 'giving a boost to terrorism' and denying history.
