The United States announced Tuesday it will again pull out of the UN's educational, scientific and cultural agency (UNESCO) because of what Washington perceives as its anti-Israel bias.
US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the withdrawal was linked to UNESCO's perceived agenda to "advance divisive social and cultural causes."
Bruce said in a statement that UNESCO's decision "to admit the 'State of Palestine' as a Member State is highly problematic, contrary to US policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-Israel rhetoric within the organization."
Under the Biden administration, the US rejoined UNESCO two years ago.
