RESTRICTION SUMMARY: Gaza- 21 September 2022. Palestinian students hold placards during a protest against a new Israeli-imposed curriculum in Jerusalem, in Gaza city.


STORYLINE:

Ziad al-Shamali, head of the parents committee union in Jerusalem said that there are more than 280 Palestinian schools in Jerusalem, with some 115,000 students from kindergarten to grade 12.

Al-Shamali said that Israel had been trying to impose a “distorted version of the Palestinian Authority (PA) curriculum” on private Palestinian schools since the beginning of the year.

In July, Israeli authorities revoked the permanent licenses of six Palestinian schools in Jerusalem, claiming that their textbooks incited against the Israeli state and army. They were given permission to operate for a year if the curriculum was edited.

The eastern half of Jerusalem was militarily occupied by Israel in 1967 and illegally annexed. Some 350,000 Palestinians currently live in occupied East Jerusalem, with 220,000 Israeli living in illegal settlements among them.
