Holy Sites Protection

Can I try to fool you as I did just previously?

Is this for real?

The General Assembly,

Having considered further the situation in Israel,

1. Expresses its deep appreciation of the progress achieved through the good offices of the  United Nations Mediator in promoting a peaceful adjustment of the future situation of Israel; and

Extends its thanks to the Acting Mediator and his staff for their continued efforts and devotion to duty in Israel;

2. Establishes a Conciliation Commission consisting of three States members of the United Nations

7. Resolves that the Holy Places' religious buildings and sites in Israel should be protected and free access to them assured, in accordance with existing rights and historical practice; that the Commission should call upon the political authorities of the areas concerned to give appropriate formal guarantees as to the protection of the Holy Places and access to them; and that these undertakings should be presented to the General Assembly for approval;

No, it isn't.

Here's the genuine text:-

1. Expresses its deep appreciation of the progress achieved through the good offices of the late United Nations Mediator in promoting a peaceful adjustment of the future situation of Palestine, for which cause he sacrificed his life; and

Extends its thanks to the Acting Mediator and his staff for their continued efforts and devotion to duty in Palestine;

2. Establishes a Conciliation Commission consisting of three States members of the United Nations

7. Resolves that the Holy Places - including Nazareth - religious buildings and sites in Palestine should be protected and free access to them assured, in accordance with existing rights and historical practice; that arrangements to this end should be under effective United Nations supervision; that the United Nations Conciliation Commission, in presenting to the fourth regular session of the General Assembly its detailed proposals for a permanent international regime for the territory of Jerusalem, should include recommendations concerning the Holy Places in that territory; that with regard to the Holy Places in the rest of Palestine the Commission should call upon the political authorities of the areas concerned to give appropriate formal guarantees as to the protection of the Holy Places and access to them; and that these undertakings should be presented to the General Assembly for approval;
