"Forget About It!": Netanyahu Cuts Israel's UN Dues by $1 Million After UNESCO's Hebron Vote"This time they decided that the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron is a Palestinian site, meaning that it is not Jewish, and that the site is in danger. Not a Jewish site?! Who is buried there? Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah—our patriarchs and matriarchs!" -Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
According to the Prime Minister's Office, the $1 million will be transferred to fund the establishment of a Jewish heritage museum in Hebron and Kiryat Arba as well as additional heritage projects related to Hebron. "This time they decided that the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron is a Palestinian site, meaning that it is not Jewish, and that the site is in danger. Not a Jewish site?! Who is buried there? Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah—our patriarchs and matriarchs!" Netanyahu said. "And the site is in danger? It is only in those places where Israel is, such as Hebron, that freedom of religion for all is ensured," he added. After a UNESCO resolution in early May that denied Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, Netanyahu also ordered a $1 million cut in Israel's annual U.N. dues. In March, Israel withheld $2 million from the world body following the passage of anti-Israel resolutions at the U.N. Human Rights Council. The Jewish state also reduced its U.N. funding by $6 million in the aftermath of last December's U.N. Security Council Resolution 2334, which described eastern Jerusalem's Jewish holy sites as "occupied Palestinian territory."
