Nativity Church wins U.N. status

UNESCO's World Heritage committee June 28 approved a Palestinian bid to place the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on its list of sites of World Heritage in Danger — a move seen by some nations as mixing politics and culture. Palestinian spokeswoman Hanan Ashrawi said the vote was an affirmation of Palestinian sovereignty over the site that marks the place where Christians believe Jesus was born. Israel angrily denounced the vote, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Ilana Stein saying the decision "has turned UNESCO into a theater of the absurd." (AP)
