The resolution called Israel "the occupying power" and the Western Wall as Al-Buraq Plaza... condemning Israel for "illegal measures against the freedom of worship" at the "Muslim holy site of worship". It demanded a return to the "status quo". The status quo since Israel conquered the Temple Mount in 1967 forbids non-Muslim prayer on the Temple Mount and has remained unchanged... It accused Israel of "planting Jewish fake graves in other spaces of the Muslim cemeteries" located on Waqf property east and south of the Temple Mount, and of "the continued conversion of many Islamic and Byzantine remains into the so-called Jewish ritual baths or into Jewish prayer places.". It referred to Hebron and Bethlehem as solely "Palestinian sites"... the resolution was submitted by Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, and Sudan. The 58-member board approved the resolution with 33 votes in favor, six against and 17 abstentions. Two countries, Ghana and Turkmenistan were absent all together. Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the US voted against the resolution. France, Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Russia and Slovenia were among those countries that supported the resolution.
Thanks for the post. Disgusting but far from surprising that Sweden voted ye to this resolution. We are ruled by a far-left government who also is trying to get a place on the Security Council - so if not now, when is is it time to buy votes from the Islamic countries?
I will look into this and see if I can get a question asked in the Parliament.
