Israel closes 6 UN schools for Palestinians in east Jerusalem

Israel has permanently shut down six UNRWA-operated schools in east Jerusalem, impacting over 800 Palestinian students. This action follows the Israel's ban on UNRWA and accusations of anti-Israel sentiment in the schools' curriculum, which UNRWA denies. While Israel's Education Ministry plans to integrate the students into other schools, concerns arise regarding crowded checkpoints and permit issues for the students.
