UN Passes Anti-Israel Resolution To Refer Temple Mount Only By Muslim Name

The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution, referring to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem by its Muslim name of al-Haram al-Sharif.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, told the General Assembly that the resolution completely ignores any link between the Jewish people and the Temple Mount – the holiest site.

Calling it a disgrace, Erdan noted that the attempt to rewrite history will not change the indisputable fact that the Jewish connection to the city of Jerusalem dates back thousands of years.

The resolution is one of resolution, one of seven passed by the 138 out of the193 member Nations which all singled out Israel.

Eight countries, including Australia, Canada, Guatemala, Hungary, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and the United States, joined Israel in voting against the resolution.

Meanwhile, 16 countries abstained from voting.
