Clinton Tells UNESCO to Stay Out of Palestine Debate
(AP-Washington Post) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called UNESCO's deliberation "inexplicable" at a time when the Palestinian bid for UN recognition and membership was being examined by the Security Council. "I think that that is a very odd procedure indeed and would urge the governing body of UNESCO to think again before proceeding with that vote." The U.S. provides 22% of UNESCO's budget. Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), the chairwoman of the House panel that controls U.S. foreign aid, said, "Making a move in another UN agency will not only jeopardize our relationship with the Palestinians, it will jeopardize our contributions to the United Nations."
