M-93 UNESCO Jerusalem Declaration
42nd Parliament, 1st Session
Motion Text
That the House recognize: (a) that the Jewish heritage of Jerusalem, Israel, and the Temple Mount is intrinsic to the region and to historical fact, as evidenced by the building of Solomon’s Temple in the tenth century BC; (b) that Jerusalem has intrinsic religious significance to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam; (c) that the Temple Mount, Western Wall/al-Haram al-Sharif, al-Aqsa mosque is a site revered by both Jews and Muslims, and that members of both religions have the right to visit and worship there; and (d) that the UNESCO resolution on October 13, 2016, titled “Occupied Palestine”, was inherently anti-Semitic, anti-historical, and insulting to Jewish people in Israel and around the world, and that the House formally condemn this resolution as such.
