The United States has announced it will withdraw from UNESCO due to perceived anti-Israel bias. A State Department spokesperson cited the agency’s decision to admit Palestine as a member state as a key issue.

Several places in Los Angeles and further north in California are on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Here's what that means.

The Trump administration intends to withdraw the U.S. from the organization, just two years after it rejoined after a five-year absence.

The United States of America is preparing to withdraw from UNESCO, the United Nations’ cultural and educational agency, according to media reports published today. The decision is seen as part of President Donald Trump's broader approach to reducing US involvement in international organisations he has previously criticised.

Trump ordered a 90-day review of America’s presence in UNESCO back in February, with special emphasis on probing “anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment.”

The United States will leave the United Nations' culture and education agency UNESCO, the US state department has confirmed.
