WASHINGTON, July 22 (Xinhua) — The United States on Tuesday announced its decision to withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), two years after rejoining it.
According to a statement from the US State Department, the decision was made in connection with UNESCO's policy, which Washington believes "promotes divisive social and cultural initiatives" against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“UNESCO’s decision to admit the ‘State of Palestine’ as a member state is highly problematic, runs counter to US policy and contributes to the spread of anti-Israeli rhetoric within the organization,” the statement said.
The US withdrawal from UNESCO will take effect at the end of December 2026.
This is the third time the United States has withdrawn from the organization, and the second time during the Donald Trump administration. Since the start of Trump's second term this year, his administration has already announced withdrawals from the Paris Climate Agreement, the World Health Organization, and the UN Human Rights Council. –0–
