The United Nations World Heritage Committee voted Sunday to list the Tell es-Sultan archaeological site in Jericho as a “World Heritage Site in Palestine.”
The decision was made at a conference held in Riyadh, UNESCO said on its official X account, formerly known as Twitter.
The Palestinian Authority welcomed the decision, while Israel expressed ire.
