129 Countries Scrub Judaism’s Ties To Temple Mount In U.N. Resolution

The United Nations approved a resolution targeting Israel and denying Judaism’s link to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Wednesday in a 129-11 vote.
The resolution referred to the Temple Mount exclusively by its Muslim name, al-Haram al-Sharif. The text is part of a campaign by the Palestinian Authority, the governing body in charge of autonomous Palestinian regions in Israel, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism and its connection to the religion dates back thousands of years. In recent decades, Palestinians have accused Jewish authorities of making improper claims to the Temple Mount, and violent activists and terrorists have often led attacks on Jews near the holy site, such as a terror attack by a member of Hamas last month.
The resolution was passed on the fourth day of the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah and sparked harsh backlash in Israel.
“The declaration of the United Nations is as worthless to us as a discarded object. The Temple Mount is the holiest place for the Jewish nation according to the Bible, our history is rooted there, and we do not need any confirmation from anyone to know about the connection between the Temple Mount and the people of Israel,” said Itamar Ben Gvir, a member of Israel’s Knesset.
