The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education has condemned the demolition of Yanun Elementary School in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers. The ministry described the act as a new crime against Palestinian children and a blatant violation of international law, part of a systematic policy to undermine the education sector and deprive children of their fundamental right to education.
