(CNN) -- The United States is cutting funding to the U.N. education and science agency UNESCO after the agency voted to accept a Palestinian bid for full membership, the U.S. State Department said Monday.
"Today's vote by the member states of UNESCO to admit Palestine as member is regrettable, premature and undermines our shared goal of a comprehensive just and lasting peace in the Middle East," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
"The United States will refrain from making contributions to UNESCO," she said.
The United States was going to make a $60 million payment in November, and will now not do so, she said.Palestinians bid for statehood at U.N.Some U.S. lawmakers had called on the Obama administration to withhold funding to UNESCO if the measure was approved.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
