Pyongyang, November 5 (KCNA) -- Bolivian President Evo Morales Tuesday criticized the U.S. decision to cut its funding for the UNESCO after it voted to recognize Palestine as a sovereign member state.

"How is it possible that the United States can veto this decision by UNESCO? If Israel is bombing and invading Palestine, why don't the military forces of the United States go to Israel to stop the bombing and the abuse of Palestine," said Morales.
