The UN cultural body on Monday sought to calm anger over a resolution on Temple Mount, which saw Israel
accuse it of seeking to "rewrite history," AFP reports.

"Jerusalem is a Holy Land of the three monotheistic religions, a place of dialogue for all Jewish, Christian and Muslim people. Nothing should be undertaken to alter its integrity and authenticity," UNESCO chief Irina Bokova said in a statement.

"Only respect and dialogue can build the trust we need to move forward."
