Hoyer Statement on UNESCO Resolution

WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement on a resolution adopted by UNESCO today: 

“I am deeply disappointed that UNESCO adopted a resolution today that denies Jewish history in Israel.   I commend U.S. Ambassador Crystal Nix-Hines for her work to build opposition to this resolution today and to remove some of the most egregious provisions in the resolution.  International forums, such as UNESCO, should never be used to delegitimize Israel.”
