Netanyahu Slams UNESCO Delay of Jewish Exhibit
(AP-ABC News) Daniel Estrin - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday criticized the UN's cultural agency for postponing an exhibit on Jewish connections to the Holy Land following objections from Arab countries. The exhibit was to show 30 illustrated panels showing the long history of the Jewish people in the Holy Land, from the days of the biblical patriarch Abraham to modern day Israel. Netanyahu rejected the claim that the exhibit would harm peace negotiations. "It would not harm the negotiations. Negotiations are based on facts, on the truth, which is never harmful."
