Christian schools in Jerusalem have been forced to suspend classes due to Israel’s refusal to renew entry permits for more than 70 Palestinian teachers and staff. The decision impacts schools serving tens of thousands of Christian students in East Jerusalem. School officials report that repeated requests to resolve the issue have been unsuccessful, leaving them with no other option but to close. The lack of permits prevents educators from reaching their schools, disrupting education for students preparing for exams. This move follows a pattern of permit restrictions affecting Palestinian workers in Jerusalem. The schools emphasize that education is a fundamental right and call for immediate action to restore access for teachers. RT.com originally reported on this developing situation.
