Israeli report: classroom shortage becomes a tool to Israelize curricula in Jerusalem Jerusalem, Palestine · 2026-10-31 13:08
The report by the Israeli rights group Ir Amim argues that the crisis goes beyond a lack of buildings and overcrowding. It says the need for classroom seats is being used as leverage to pressure schools into adopting the Israeli curriculum.
Palestinian schools in East Jerusalem operate under Israeli control, as Israel annexed the eastern part of the city in 1980, a move not recognised internationally. Many schools there follow the Palestinian curriculum.
