Recently, the United States and Israel officially left UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The Trump Administration announced in October 2017 that it would withdraw from a claim of favoritism by UNESCO, after which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also decided to leave UNESCO in Israel.
Important point
After the Second World War, the United States also cooperated with this institution created by the United Nations for peace in the world.
The United States also left UNESCO in 1984, but was joined in 2003.
The President of the United States has decided to withdraw again to UNESCO's opposition to the status of permanent member of Palestine.
In 2011, UNESCO provided Palestine with the status of permanent member of the United Nations.
UNESCO has also reaffirmed Palestine's authority over the heritage of Jews, which has angered both countries against UNESCO.
As UNESCO funding has been decided by both countries since 2011, it is clear that this decision will not have a major impact on this institution.
The United States expressed concern over the growing economic pressure on UNESCO and also proposed a fundamental change.
