An initial draft of the resolution had also called for the Kotel (Western Wall) to be listed as an Islamic site - or more specifically as an "extension of the Al Aqsa Mosque" - but that detail was hastily withdrawn after widespread condemnation, including from UNESCO's own Director-General.

Having visited both Rachel's Tomb and the Cave of the Patriarchs, and having seen the most recent damage to Josef's Tomb, I have to wonder what difference does a UNESCO designation make?
