Israel suspends cooperation with UNESCO after it passed resolution on Jerusalem

• Israel suspended co-operation with the UN's cultural agency, UNESCO, accusing it of denying Judaism's connections to the religion's holiest sites. It also notified the Israel National Commission for UNESCO to suspend all professional activities with the international organization.
• The action came after UNESCO approved a draft resolution, which repeatedly used only the Islamic name for a hilltop complex, which is also the holiest site in Judaism. The draft was passed at committee state by 24 votes in favour, six against and 26 abstentions, in October 2016. Now, the draft resolution will be sent to UNESCO’s executive body which will decide via a vote that it should be adopted or not.

About UNESCO's draft resolution

• The resolution, sponsored by several Arab countries, refers to occupied Palestine. It seeks to safeguard the cultural heritage sites in the Palestine region.
• It used the Islamic name, al-Haram al-Sharif/al-Aqsa Mosque, for the hilltop compound, which includes the Western Wall. The wall is a remnant of the biblical temple and the holiest site where Jews can pray.

• It also criticizes Israel’s activities at holy places in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
• Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett said a UNESCO draft decision concerning Jerusalem denies history and encourages terror.

NASA develops electroactive bandages for wound healing

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed a high-tech electroactive bandage. The bandage creates an electric charge to help promote the healing process of wounds.

Key features of the electroactive bandages

• The fibres of the gauze are made of electroactive material Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF).
• The bandage is stimulated by the heat of the body and the pressure of cell growth. Therefore, no external power source is required in order for the bandage to promote wound healing.
• The device uses electrical activity to facilitate the wound healing process while protecting the wound. The bandage also minimises infection and related complications such as illness or amputation.
• The bandage could be used by military personnel wounded in the field, patients who have undergone surgery or who have suffered a serious wound and astronauts in space.
