UN Adopts Six Anti-Israel Resolutions; Ignores Jewish Ties to Temple Mount

December 1, 2016

The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday voted to adopt six resolutions condemning Israel during a special annual session for the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which began the day before.

In one of the most prominent decisions, the UN voted to support a resolution that used solely Muslim language to describe the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and ignored the site’s biblical role in Judaism and Christianity, with 147 member states voting in favor, seven against and eight abstaining.
