(SeaPRwire) – New Israeli permit rules have put historic church-run schools and their West Bank teachers in Jerusalem at risk
Christian schools in Jerusalem are confronting an escalating crisis following Israel’s implementation of restrictions on West Bank teachers working in the city. This decision impacts over 200 educators across 15 long-standing institutions, sparking concerns that some schools might be compelled to shut down due to a lack of qualified local personnel.
Church representatives have voiced warnings that this action, which they perceive as politically driven, could have broader repercussions for the Christian community in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, teachers have stated that it jeopardizes their employment and their ability to enter the city.
These restrictions are a consequence of a 2025 bill targeting Palestinian educators who received their training at West Bank universities, a rationale that has been challenged by those affected.
