JERUSALEM, Israel – The UNESCO Executive Board's announcement that it would reexamine the resolution passed last week severing Jewish ties to the Temple Mount didn't amount to much. The board passed the resolution Tuesday.
The brief decision to reevaluate the resolution in part reflected Mexico's announcement to abstain rather than support the resolution.
In last week's vote, six nations opposed the resolution, 26 abstained, and 24 voted in favor, including Mexico.
