The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education condemned the demolition of the Yanun primary school in the occupied West Bank, which was carried out by Israeli settlers, according to Wafa news reported on Thursday.
Assessment of the Demolition Act
In an official statement, the ministry characterized this action as a new crime against Palestinian children and a clear violation of international law. According to the ministry, this is part of a targeted policy aimed at undermining the education system and depriving children of their basic right to education.
Context of Events
The act of demolition occurred approximately eight months after the residents of the village of Yanun were forcibly displaced. This displacement followed repeated attacks by Israeli settlers.
