Arab League: US steps against UNESCO will hurt talks
Arab League Secretary-General Nabil al-Araby said Tuesday that the US decision to halt funding to UNESCO over the admittance of the Palestinian Authority as a full member will hurt the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. "The US initiative has a negative effect on US efforts to renew the talks," he said.
The US announced Monday it will halt the transfer of $60 million to UNESCO's budget after the group voted to accept the PA as a full member. (AFP)
