A letter from President Trump backed by all 100 senators was not enough to dissuade the U.N. from passing its latest resolution criticizing Israel. The resolution, passed Tuesday by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), labeled Israel an “occupying Power” and called on the Jewish state to cease “persistent” archaeological work in East Jerusalem. U.N. critics say the latest vote shows the virulent andi-Semitism that runs through the U.N. cannot be tamed by U.S. pressure alone. “Today’s vote is another disgraceful example of attempts by UNESCO's member states to delegitimize Israel and deny Jewish and Christian ties to Jerusalem. The Trump Administration has had some success in influencing U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Israel.
