In this regard, UNESCO underlined that since the former French minister took office in November 2017, it has “to calm political tensions and build consensus on the most sensitive issues, such as the Middle East”.

Other changes made by Azoulay that would have motivated the return of the United States raise ethical questions about the use of the artificial intelligencethe ocean protection and “the governance reforms” that have made the organization “more efficient and financially sound” since 2018.

Trump formalized his departure in 2017 because he blamed UNESCO for the debates on the conflict in the Middle East and repeated statements condemning Israel, and his general aversion to international organizations.

But the return of the United States, in a climate within UNESCO less polarized in the Middle East conflict, also opens the doors for a return of Israel.
