UK criticizes Israel over demolition of Palestinian school in West Bank
LONDON (AA) – The UK on Thursday criticized Israel for demolishing a school in the occupied West Bank, calling on Tel Aviv to ensure Palestinian children’s right to education.
“All children have a right to education. The UK calls on the government of #Israel to uphold this right for Palestinian children,” the British Consulate in Jerusalem said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In a statement early on Thursday, the Palestinian Education Ministry said Israeli authorities demolished the Ein Samia School, located east of Ramallah, attended by students from the local Bedouin community.
Meanwhile, UNESCO Palestine said the school was demolished just a few days before the start of the new school year.
“In the last 12 months, 3 #schools were demolished affecting 78 students. Some 58 schools remain under the threat of demolition,” it noted on X.
