Among the content deemed objectionable is material relating to a quasi-constitutional Basic Law
The UN has conditioned Israel's request for an exhibit on the parliament at the organization's New York headquarters, asking it to remove certain content, including references to Jerusalem as the country's capital, Israeli television reported Thursday.
The exhibit, titled “The Knesset Celebrates 70 Years – Parliament Shapes Israeli Society,” was previously shown at Ben Gurion Airport in 2019.
According to Channel 12, the Israeli delegation to the United Nations requested to display the exhibit at UN headquarters on the condition that several items would have to be removed.
Among the content deemed objectionable is material relating to a quasi-constitutional Basic Law passed in 1980, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's "eternal and indivisible" capital.
“Please delete slide 43: According to the relevant decisions of the General Assembly and the Security Council, the Basic Law: Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is not valid from our point of view,” the UN reportedly said in his instructions.
