"The [PA] Ministry of Education has frozen its ties with UNRWA until further notice"

"The [PA] Ministry of Education and Higher Education yesterday [April 13, 2017] officially announced the freezing of its ties with UNRWA until its situation is settled. This is because the ministry is not convinced that the agency has taken back the changes that it made in the Palestinian textbooks.

The ministry emphasized that any distortion of the Palestinian textbooks constitutes a blatant violation of the host nation's laws, and that the changing of any letter in them in order to satisfy any party constitutes a betrayal of the Palestinian narrative and the right of the Palestinian people that is subject to occupation to maintain its identity and struggle, and to defend its way of struggle."
