JamaliahYusofYacob - NATO dan EU ketua keselamatan mengatakan Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini ISIS/ISIL) mahu menggunakan senjata kimia atau nuklear untuk menyerang Britain.

Semasa persidangan Keselamatan dan Pencegahan Keganasan di London pada Selasa dan Rabu, sekumpulan kepolisan dan kaunter pakar-pakar keganasan menyampaikan amaran mengerikan.

Jorge Berto Silva, Timbalan Ketua Suruhanjaya Eropah memerangi keganasan, memberitahu Telegraph bahawa "dengan CBRN [kimia, biologi, radioaktif dan bahan-bahan nuklear], wajar terdapat kebimbangan."

ISIS wants to launch chemical or nuclear attacks - EU/NATO security chiefs . . .

NATO and EU security chiefs say Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) wants to use chemical or nuclear weapons to attack Britain.

During the Security and Counter Terror conference in London on Tuesday and Wednesday, a group of policing and counter terrorism experts delivered a dire warning.

Jorge Berto Silva, the European Commission’s deputy chief of counter-terrorism, told the Telegraph that “with CBRN [chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear materials], there is a justified concern.”

Pandangan beliau turut dikongsi oleh Dr Jamie Shea, Timbalan Ketua NATO ancaman baru muncul, yang memberitahu persidangan itu "kita tahu pengganas cuba untuk memperoleh bahan-bahan ini."

Shea juga memberi amaran kepada kumpulan Islam boleh berpecah kepada 2 dengan 'kerajaan' yang berpangkalan di Iraq Syria dan dan rangkaian sel keganasan di Eropah.

Menjamin Britain

Komen-komen mereka datang sebagai pihak berkuasa polis mengumumkan rancangan untuk melatih juta pekerja UK menangani serangan pengganas dalam tempoh 12 bulan akan datang. Sekumpulan bekas pegawai keselamatan juga telah melancarkan satu inisiatif untuk memeriksa sempadan Britain.

Ketua-ketua Majlis Polis Kebangsaan (NPCC) mahu melihat bilangan pekerja dilatih untuk bertindak balas terhadap insiden keganasan meningkat daripada kadar semasa sebanyak 100,000 pekerja setahun.

Detektif Ketua Penguasa Scott Wilson, polis penyelaras memerangi keganasan, dijangka mengumumkan perluasan Projek Griffin dalam masa terdekat.

His view was shared by Dr Jamie Shea, NATO’s deputy head of emerging threats, who told the conference “we know terrorists are trying to acquire these substances.”

Shea also warned the Islamist group may be splitting into two with a Syria and Iraq-based ‘state’ and a network of terror cells in Europe.

Securing Britain

Their comments come as police authorities unveil plans to train a million UK workers to deal with terror attacks over the next 12 months. A group of former security officials have also launched an initiative to examine Britain’s borders.

The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) wants to see the number of workers trained to respond to terrorist incidents increased from its current rate of 100,000 employees per year.

Detective Chief Superintendent Scott Wilson, police counter-terrorism coordinator, is expected to announce the expansion of Project Griffin in the near future.

Beliau memberitahu BBC "kita perlu semua orang untuk bermain peranan dalam mengekalkan amaran awam, tidak cemas."

Dalam surat terbuka kepada Telegraph, dua bekas komander Polis Metropolitan, Ahli Parlimen dan bekas ketua perintah memerangi keganasan berkata, tidak kira sama ada Britain meninggalkan EU atau tidak, perkongsian risikan dan kawalan sempadan perlu diberi perhatian serius.

Mereka berkata serangan pengganas baru-baru ini di Eropah di mana satu "panggilan untuk bangun bagi kerajaan British ke atas keperluan yang lebih baik untuk menjamin sempadan negara ini."

Soalan telah dibangkitkan mengenai kelemahan di UK untuk menyerang, tidak kurangnya untuk senjata nuklear.

He told the BBC “we need everyone to play a part in keeping the public alert, not alarmed.”

In an open letter to the Telegraph, two former Metropolitan Police commanders, MPs and a former head of counter-terrorism command said that regardless of whether Britain leaves the EU or not, intelligence sharing and border control must be taken seriously.

They said recent terror attacks in Europe were a “wake-up call for the British government over the need better to secure this country’s borders.”

Questions have been raised about the UK’s vulnerability to attack, not least to its nuclear arsenal.

Pada bulan Februari, RT bercakap kepada pemberi maklumat Royal Navy yang membocorkan laporan mengenai, antara lain, kemudahan potensi akses kepada kemudahan nuklear.

Jurutera kapal selam nuklear William McNeilly, yang telah ditendang keluar dari perkhidmatan bagi ayat2-Nya, berkata: "Saya tidak mengeluarkan laporan saya untuk menjatuhkan Tentera Laut Diraja. Saya mengeluarkan laporan saya kerana keselamatan dan keselamatan [di pangkalan Trident yang] tidak diambil serius. Kerana ia adalah satu risiko kepada rakyat dan risiko kepada negara ini."

In February, RT spoke to a Royal Navy whistleblower who leaked a report on, among other things, the potential ease of access to nuclear facilities.

Nuclear submarine engineer William McNeilly, who was kicked out of the service for his revelations, said: “I didn’t release my report to discredit the Royal Navy. I released my report because safety and security [at the Trident base] is not being taken seriously. Because it’s a risk to the people and a risk to the land.”

CHINA menguji ICBM mampu menyerang Amerika Syarikat dalam masa setengah JAM . . .

© Anton Denisov/Sputnik

JamaliahYusofYacob - Beijing telah berjaya menguji jarak jauh peluru berpandu balistik baru yang mampu mengambil sebarang sasaran yang berpotensi di seluruh dunia. Roket ini mengambil masa hanya 30 minit untuk meliputi pelbagai 12,000km maksimum dan boleh menyampaikan berbilang bantahan di mana-mana negara nuklear-mampu.

Pelancaran China Dongfeng-41 (East Wind, DF-41) peluru berpandu telah didaftarkan oleh sistem pengesanan US satelit dalam masa sebenar, lapor Washington Percuma Beacon, walaupun lokasi pelancaran itu tidak segera diturunkan. Pelancaran itu dilakukan dengan platform jalan mudah alih yang baru, dan dilaporkan ketujuh ujian penembakan daripada DF-41.

China tests ICBM capable Of striking US within half an hour . . .

Beijing has successfully tested a new long-range ballistic missile capable of engaging any potential target worldwide. The rocket takes just 30 minutes to cover its maximum 12,000km range and can deliver multiple strikes on any nuclear-capable state.

The launch of China’s Dongfeng-41 (East Wind, DF-41) missile was registered by the US satellite tracking system in real time, the Washington Free Beacon reports, although the location of the launch was not immediately revealed. The launch was made from a new road-mobile platform, and is reportedly the seventh test-firing of the DF-41.

Pakar Amerika menganggarkan DF-41 menjadi 80 tan, tiga peringkat peluru berpandu bahan api pepejal mampu membawa antara enam dan 10 kepala peledak nuklear.

Ujian ini telah dibuat dengan peluru berpandu DF-41 bersenjatakan dua kenderaan masuk semula secara bebas disasarkan.

"Seperti ujian MIRV sebelumnya, PLA telah menggunakan sebilangan kecil kenderaan masuk semula untuk menutup keupayaan sebenar DF-41, yang dianggarkan dapat loteng sehingga 10 kepala peledak," yang WFB dinamakan China hal ehwal ketenteraan penganalisis Rick Fisher sebagai berkata.

China didakwa diuji peluru berpandu nuklear dahsyat pada 13 April - kira-kira masa yang apabila Pembebasan Rakyat Tentera berpangkat tinggi Kej Fan Changlong mengetuai kumpulan komander tentera untuk memeriksa kerja-kerja pembinaan di sebuah pulau buatan manusia dalam kumpulan Kepulauan Spratly. Tarikh sebenar lawatan itu tidak diumumkan secara rasmi.

Ujian ini dilaporkan berlaku tiga hari sebelum Setiausaha Pertahanan AS Ash Carter melawat pengangkut pesawat USS John C. Stennis, yang beroperasi di Laut China Selatan berhampiran dengan Kepulauan Spratly yang dipertikaikan dituntut oleh Beijing.

American experts estimate the DF-41 to be an 80-ton, three-stage solid-fuel missile capable of carrying between six and 10 nuclear warheads.

The test was made with a DF-41 missile armed with two independently targetable reentry vehicles.

“As with previous MIRV tests, the PLA has used a small number of reentry vehicles to mask the real capability of the DF-41, which is estimated to be able to loft up to 10 warheads,” the WFB cited China military affairs analyst Rick Fisher as saying.

China allegedly tested its deadliest nuclear missile on April 13 – about the time when the People’s Liberation Army's high-ranking Gen. Fan Changlong headed a group of military commanders to inspect construction work at a man-made island in the Spratly Islands group. The exact date of the visit was not officially announced.

The test reportedly took place three days before US Defense Secretary Ash Carter visited the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, operating in the South China Sea close to the disputed Spratly Islands claimed by Beijing.

Maklumat pertama mengenai generasi ketiga Cina peluru berpandu balistik - yang menurut WFB mampu mencapai mana-mana lokasi dalam Amerika Syarikat - muncul dalam media Amerika pada Julai 2014.

Menurut Washington Percuma Beacon, tentera China dipentaskan DF-41 peluru berpandu balistik pelancaran ujian sebelumnya pada 5 Disember, 2015, apabila peluru berpandu dilancarkan dari bekas yang dipasang pada kereta kereta api khas.

"China semula kejuruteraan jarak jauh peluru berpandu balistik untuk menjalankan pelbagai kepala peledak nuklear," yang WFB dinamakan Adm. Cecil Haney daripada Strategic Command AS sebagai berkata pada 22 Januari tahun ini.

Pada tahun 2015, majalah Pertahanan Asia Kanwa mendakwa Beijing mungkin menambah DF-41 kepada inventori nuklearnya seawal 2016.

The first information about the third generation Chinese ballistic missile – which according to the WFB is capable of reaching any location within the US – emerged in the American media in July 2014.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the Chinese military staged its previous DF-41 ballistic missile test launch on December 5, 2015, when a missile was launched from a container mounted on a special railroad car.

“China is re-engineering its long-range ballistic missiles to carry multiple nuclear warheads,” the WFB cited Adm. Cecil Haney of the US Strategic Command as saying on January 22 of this year.

In 2015, Kanwa Asian Defence magazine claimed that Beijing might add the DF-41 to its nuclear inventory as early as 2016.

Terperangkap oleh ais: 4 ekor ikan paus pembunuh diselamatkan dalam Op menyelamat di Timur JAUh Rusia (VIDEO) . . .

JamaliahYusofYacob - Operasi menyelamat uang mencabar di Rusia Timur JAUh telah diisytiharkan berjaya selepas 4 paus pembunuh, termasuk anaknya yang, telah dibebaskan dari perangkap ais di Laut ‘Okhotsk off Sakhalin Island’.

Nasib pembunuh ikan paus 'mencetuskan misi menyelamat 8 jam unik yang telah dijalankan oleh Kementerian Kecemasan Rusia dengan bantuan syarikat nelayan tempatan. Sebagai teluk di mana paus pembunuh tersekat adalah cetek dan dipenuhi dengan ais dan batu, sebuah bot nelayan tradisional telah didaftarkan untuk kerja, di tempat kapal menyelamat.

Penyelamat digunakan cangkuk untuk bergerak keping ais daripada menurut jalan yang ditunjukkan haiwan, tetapi mereka ternyata menjadi tidak setanding dengan ketulan terbesar. Tidak terhalang oleh halangan, bagaimanapun, mereka menggunakan beberapa kepintaran dan dilampirkan tali tebal untuk kenderaan di pantai yang papak ditunda yang lebih besar ais daripada jalan ikan paus.

Satu pasukan berasingan mendapat ke dalam air untuk menunjukkan kepada mereka jalan ke kebebasannya.

3 kecil paus pembunuh diselamatkan pertama. Pekerja penyelamat perlu untuk mengosongkan ais tambahan untuk membantu ikan paus yang ke-4 dan terbesar, yang adalah sekitar 7 meter panjang, Kementerian Kecemasan tempatan berkata dalam satu kenyataan pada Rabu.

Trapped by ice: Four killer whales saved in 

rescue op in Russia’s Far East (VIDEO) . . .

A challenging rescue operation in Russia’s Far East was declared a success after four orcas, including a pup, were freed from an ice trap in the Sea of Okhotsk off Sakhalin Island.

The killer whales’ plight triggered a unique eight-hour rescue mission, which was carried out by the Russian Emergencies Ministry with the help of a local fishing company. As the bay where the orcas got stuck was shallow and filled with ice and rocks, a traditional fishing boat was enlisted for the job, in place of a rescue vessel.

Rescuers used hooks to move pieces of ice out of the way of the animals, but they turned out to be no match for the largest chunks. Undeterred by the obstacle, however, they used some ingenuity and attached a thick rope to a vehicle on the shore that towed the bigger slabs of ice out of the path of the whales.

A separate team got into the water to show them the way to freedom.

The three smaller orcas were rescued first. Rescue workers needed to clear additional ice to help the fourth and largest whale, which was around 7 meters long, the local emergencies ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

“The rescuers and volunteers that stayed near the animal at night covered it with tarpaulin to reduce heat loss and pushed away the ice floes that could hurt it,” the statement said. “At around 6 am local time, the rescue operation successfully ended. Willy [the fourth killer whale] reached the open sea,” the ministry said.

Salah satu ikan paus pembunuh hampir lemas semasa misi tersebut apabila ia tersangkut dalam air dan tidak dapat terapung untuk udara. Syukurlah, penyelamat dapat berjaya menghidupkan ikan paus di sekeliling, memberikan akses kepada oksigen.

Ikan paus terbesar mempunyai luka terbuka, jadi penyelamat memberikannya ditembak adrenalin dan digunakan vaseline kecederaan itu.

Orcas boleh hidup 3 hari tanpa makanan, tetapi hanya jika ia kekal di dalam air dan mempunyai akses kepada udara.

One of the killer whales almost drowned during the mission when it got stuck underwater and could not float up for air. Thankfully, rescuers were able to successfully turn the whale around, giving it access to oxygen.

The largest whale had open wounds, so the rescuers gave it a shot of adrenaline and applied vaseline to its injuries.

Orcas can survive three days without food, but only if they remain in the water and have access to air.

ANKARA anti-Kurdis tindakan keras tumpah sempadan orang awam ke Syria (EKSKLUSIF VIDEO) . . .

JamaliahYusofYacob - Walaupun Ankara mendakwa tindakan keras tentera yang berterusan hanya mensasarkan pengganas, orang awam sering menjadi mangsa kepada serangan - dan bukan hanya di wilayah penduduk-Kurdis Turki, tetapi juga di seluruh sempadan di Syria di mana orang mengalami serangan rentas sempadan setiap hari.

Pihak berkuasa Turki telah mengharamkan wartawan dan pertubuhan hak asasi manusia daripada membuat liputan operasi ketenteraan terhadap Parti (PKK) di daerah Nusaybin di wilayah Turki tenggara Mardin.

Satu-satunya cara untuk mendapatkan gambaran tindakan ketenteraan yang berterusan adalah untuk melihat operasi yang dikenali sebagai anti-pengganas dari keselamatan relatif sebuah bandar Syria Qamishli, yang terletak hanya 200 meter dari kedudukan tentera Turki ini.

Tetapi wartawan di wilayah Syria berada di bawah ancaman berterusan peluru sesat yang datang dari sebelah Turki. RT telah mendapat rakaman eksklusif menunjukkan operasi ketenteraan Turki terhadap Kurdis dari wartawan tempatan.

Sekurang-kurangnya 2 orang termasuk seorang kanak-kanak telah terbunuh dalam Qamishli, menurut seorang wartawan RT di atas darat, sebagai hasil daripada tembakan meriam rentas sempadan, yang terus pada kadar biasa sejak awal bulan Mac, apabila Ankara melancarkan serangan ke atas Nusaybin . Selama lebih sebulan sekarang, meriam berat telah digunakan terhadap orang awam kedua-dua bandar-bandar.

Secara purata lebih daripada 10 peluru melanda Qamishli setiap hari, penduduk tempatan di sebelah Syria sempadan memberitahu krew RT. Sembarangan meriam kebakaran memusnahkan banyak rumah-rumah, masjid dan infrastruktur awam lain.

Saudagar tempatan, Muhammad Hasso, memberitahu RT pengalaman menyakitkan apabila mortar meletup di hadapan pendiriannya dan perhentian bas di mana 3 orang sedang berbual-bual.

"3 orang duduk di sini, dan tiba-tiba kami mendengar wisel mortar, diikuti dengan letupan," kata Hasso. "Segala-galanya telah dimusnahkan oleh letupan. Orang awam terjejas. peluru datang dari Turki. Ia adalah satu mortar tank."

Ankara’s anti-Kurd crackdown spills over border 

onto Syrian civilians (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO) . . .

While Ankara claims its ongoing military crackdown only targets terrorists, civilians often fall victim to the offensive – and not just in Turkey’s Kurdish-populated provinces, but also across the border in Syria where people suffer from cross-border shelling daily.

Turkish authorities have banned journalists and human rights organizations from covering its military operations against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the Nusaybin district in the southeastern Turkish province of Mardin.

The only way to get a glimpse of the ongoing military action is to observe the so-called anti-terrorist operation from the relative safety of a Syrian town of Qamishli, which lies only 200 meters away from the Turkish army’s positions.

But journalists on Syrian territory are under the constant threat of stray shells coming from the Turkish side. RT has obtained an exclusive footage showing the Turkish military operation against Kurds from a local stringer.

At least two people including a child have been killed in Qamishli, according to an RT stringer on the ground, as a result of the cross-border artillery fire, which has continued at regular pace since early March, when Ankara launched the assault on Nusaybin. For over a month now, heavy artillery has been used against the civilian population of both cities.

On average more than 10 shells hit Qamishli daily, locals on the Syrian side of the border told an RT crew. Indiscriminate artillery fire destroyed many houses, mosques and other civilian infrastructure.

A local merchant, Muhammad Hasso, told RT of his painful experience when a shell exploded right in front of his stand and a bus stop where three people were conversing.

“Three people sat here, and all of a sudden we heard the whistle of a shell, followed by an explosion,” Hasso said. “Everything was destroyed by the explosion. Civilians are affected. The projectile came from Turkey. It was a tank shell.”

Seorang wanita tempatan berusia 36 tahun, Fatima Fattouche, turut cedera teruk oleh serangan.

"Saya keluar dari teksi dan pergi ke perhentian bas, dan kemudian saya mendengar letupan. Saya menyentuh diri saya dan menyedari bahawa saya mendapat banyak serpihan pada badanku. Kemudian saya bangun di hospital, "katanya kepada RT.

Pada bulan November 2015, Nusaybin, sebuah bandar 80,000, kebanyakannya Kurdis, telah diletakkan di bawah perintah berkurung oleh kerajaan Turki dengan operasi ketenteraan terhadap pejuang PKK berterusan di daerah ini.

A 36-year-old local woman, Fatima Fattouche, was also severely injured by the shelling.

“I got out of a taxi and went to the bus stop, and then I heard the explosion. I touched myself and realized that I got a lot of shrapnel in me. Then I woke up in the hospital,” she told RT.

In November 2015, Nusaybin, a town of 80,000, mostly Kurds, was placed under curfew by the Turkish government with military operations against the PKK fighters continuing in the district.

Di sempadan, Arab dan Kristian, yang membentuk minoriti signifikan dalam Qamishli, bersama majoriti Kurdis, terpaksa melarikan diri kawasan-kawasan perumahan yang geografi yang paling dekat dengan sempadan Turki sebagai operasi ketenteraan yang berterusan menimbulkan ancaman langsung kepada kehidupan mereka.

Kempen ketenteraan terhadap pejuang PKK di Turki bermula pada pertengahan 2015, selepas Ankara berakhir perjanjian gencatan senjata 2 tahun dan dihidupkan semula konflik lama yang telah meragut lebih 40,000 nyawa.

Melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa, Ankara juga telah mensasarkan Kurdish Demokratik Unity Party Syria (PYD), yang mendakwa ia dikaitkan dengan PKK, serta Rakyat Protection Unit (YPG) yang memperjuangkan Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini ISIS/ISIL) di Syria.

Sejak itu, operasi itu telah dikutuk oleh pemimpin Eropah dan pertubuhan hak asasi manusia. Hampir 20,000 orang telah menandatangani petisyen yang dilancarkan oleh RT bulan lepas, yang menggesa PBB untuk menyiasat dakwaan pembunuhan beramai-dakwaan orang awam Kurdis.

Over the border, Arabs and Christians, which make up a significant minority in Qamishli, alongside a Kurdish majority, were forced to flee neighborhoods that are geographically closest to the Turkish border as ongoing military operations pose a direct threat to their livelihood.

The military campaign against PKK fighters in Turkey began in mid-2015, after Ankara ended a two-year ceasefire agreement and revived an old conflict that has claimed more than 40,000 lives.

In breach of international laws, Ankara has also been targeting the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Unity Party (PYD), which it claims is linked to the PKK, as well as the People’s Protection Units (YPG) which fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria.

Since then, the operation has been condemned by European leaders and human rights organizations. Almost 20,000 people have signed a petition, launched by RT last month, that urges the UN to investigate claims of alleged mass killing of Kurdish civilians.

Two tourist destinations, the Cave of the Patriarchs in the heart of the old city of Hebron and Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem, are named in the paper as “Palestinian sites.” The draft decision by the UNESCO executive board on occupied Palestine was released April 11.

UNESCO “reaffirms that the two concerned sites located in… Hebron and in Bethlehem are an integral part of Palestine” and “disapproves the ongoing Israeli illegal excavations, works, construction of private roads for settlers and a separation wall inside the Old City of… Hebron, that harmfully affect the integrity of the site,” the statement says.

UNESCO slammed Israeli attacks on Muslims in the Temple Mount, which it only refers to by its Arabic name, Al-Haram Al-Sharif, and its holy site, Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The organization “strongly condemns the Israeli aggressions and illegal measures against the freedom of worship and Muslims’ access to their Holy Site Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al Sharif, and requests Israel, the Occupying Power, to respect the historic Status Quo and to immediately stop these measures,” the statement says.

UNESCO menggesa Israel untuk menghentikan "mengharamkan umat Islam untuk mengebumikan mati mereka dalam beberapa ruang dan dengan menanam kubur palsu Yahudi di ruang lain tanah perkuburan Islam."

Kumpulan itu juga mengkritik "sekatan berterusan Israel di Semenanjung Gaza," yang menyebabkan "nombor tertahan kecederaan dan kematian yang kanak-kanak Palestin," dan juga sebagai "serangan ke atas sekolah-sekolah dan kemudahan pendidikan dan budaya yang lain dan penafian akses kepada pendidikan. "

Pihak berkuasa Israel telah bertindak balas dengan kemarahan kepada dokumen UNESCO.

"Ini merupakan satu lagi keputusan PBB tidak masuk akal," kata Perdana Menteri, Benjamin Netanyahu, seperti yang dipetik oleh media Israel.

UNESCO called on Israel to stop “banning Muslims from burying their dead in some spaces and by planting Jewish fake graves in other spaces of the Muslim cemeteries.”

The group also criticized “the continuous Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip,” which causes an“intolerable number of casualties among Palestinian children," as well as "the attacks on schools and other educational and cultural facilities and the denial of access to education.”

Israeli authorities have reacted with anger to the UNESCO document.

“This is yet another absurd UN decision,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, as cited by Israeli media.

"UNESCO mengabaikan sambungan bersejarah yang unik Yahudi ke Kuil Gunung, di mana kedua-dua kuil berdiri selama seribu tahun dan yang mana setiap orang Yahudi di dunia telah berdoa untuk beribu-ribu tahun. PBB menulis semula sebahagian asas sejarah manusia dan sekali lagi membuktikan bahawa tidak ada rendah yang ia tidak akan tunduk, "katanya.

“UNESCO ignores the unique historic connection of Judaism to the Temple Mount, where the two temples stood for a thousand years and to which every Jew in the world has prayed for thousands of years. The UN is rewriting a basic part of human history and has again proven that there is no low to which it will not stoop,” he added.

Ini bukan resolusi UNESCO pertama yang mengutuk Israel untuk pencerobohan di tempat suci di Jerusalem dan Tebing Barat.

Dokumen itu telah diluluskan oleh 26 undi untuk 6 - mereka supaya tidak Amerika Syarikat, United Kingdom, Jerman, Belanda, Republik Czech dan Estonia.

This is not the first UNESCO resolution that condemns Israel for aggression at holy sites in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The document was passed by 26 votes to six – those against being the US, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Estonia.
