Netanyahu is following Trump’s lead on pulling out of UNESCO and doing the same for Israel:
I welcome @realDonaldTrump's decision to withdraw from UNESCO.
— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) October 12, 2017
This is a courageous and ethical decision because UNESCO has become a theater of the absurd and instead of preserving history, distorts it.
— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) October 12, 2017
I have instructed the Foreign Ministry to prepare Israel's withdrawal from UNESCO in parallel with the United States.

Ambassador Nikki Haley released a statement about our withdrawal from UNESCO earlier:
Awesome.
I proclaim this to be an open thread.
