PA Foreign Minister: Israel is trying to destroy and falsify the 10,000 year old Palestinian history

“The [PLO] Palestinian National Committee for Education, Culture, and Science concluded its participation… in the 40th session of the UNESCO (UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) general conference, which is convening in Paris, the capital of France…

Leading the delegation was [PA] Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Riyad Al-Malki…

Al-Malki said in a speech that he gave at the conference: ‘Palestine is the cradle of civilization and the religions, and its capital is Jerusalem on whose walls is engraved some of the Palestinian people’s past, heritage, and history. Israel, the occupying power, is striving to destroy this heritage, take control of it, and falsify the history that is witness to our people having been rooted in its land for over 10,000 years, which negates the settler Israeli colonialist narrative.”
