A statement released by Al-Aqsa Foundation has demanded the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and other international institutions take solid steps to stop the smuggling of historical artifacts by Israel.

“Israel is stealing the Arabic and Islamic cultural heritage in Jerusalem in the name of urban transformation,” the Al-Aqsa Foundation and Cultural Heritage Organization in Jerusalem has said, continuing:

“Jerusalem as a whole is exposed to the attacks of Israel on Islamic and Arabic artifacts. Israel is stealing the Arabic and Islamic cultural heritage in Jerusalem in the name of urban transformation.”
