US announces leaving UN cultural body UNESCO

The United States on Tuesday announced it has left UNESCO, saying the UN cultural and education agency, best known for establishing world heritage sites, is biased against Israel and promotes "divisive" causes.

"Continued involvement in UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States," the State Department spokeswoman said.
