PLO Condemns UNESCO for Listing Jerusalem as Israel's Capital
Pyongyang, July 17 (KCNA) -- The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on Thursday condemned listing Jerusalem as Israel's capital on the website of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Identifying Jerusalem as Israel's unified capital "is a procedure against humanitarian and international legitimacy and the Security Council's resolutions that consider East Jerusalem as an occupied city," said the PLO in a statement.

The PLO called on the UNESCO to withdraw this classification, stressing that East Jerusalem is part of the Palestinian lands that Israel occupied in 1967.
