PM's Office: UNESCO's decision drives peace further away

The Prime Minister's Office leveled criticism at the decision to recognize the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem as a World Heritage site, stating that UNESCO's decision proves that "the organization is motivated by political and not cultural considerations."

"Instead of taking steps to promote peace, the Palestinians are taking unilateral action that drive the prospects of peace further away. The world must remember that the Church of Nativity is holy to Christianity and was vandalized in the past by Palestinian terrorists," read a statement issued by the PM's Office. (Attila Somfalvi)
