Bahrain schools ordered by King to remove lessons teaching about Israel, normalization deals

by

Manama’s normalization with Israel has proven to be widely unpopular by Bahrain’s citizens who have routinely held rallies against the 2020 decision.

No Normalization With Israel Until Two-state Solution Reached, Saudi FM Says. JEDDAH—Saudi Arabia will not fully normalize ties with Israel until a two-state solution with the Palestinians is reached, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Friday. “We have said that Saudi Arabia supports the Arab Peace Initiative

Bahrain’s educational institutions have been ordered by King Salman Al Khalifa not to implement any changes to the curriculum that are “not compatible with Bahrain’s national values designed to protect religion and its core pillars.”

According to Alarabiya News, the announcement came on Tuesday following issues raised by critics regarding the inclusion of Israel and changes to the maps of the contested Israeli-Palestinian territories.

A statement from the government, shared online, said, “His Royal Highness ordered the Minister of Education to ensure educational curricula adhere to Islamic teachings, in line with the National Action Charter and the Constitution.”

“His Royal Highness reiterated that the Islamic religion is inviolable and should be respected and protected at all costs,” it added.

The amendment made to subjects in primary schools included a lesson on the normalisation of ties between the Gulf State and Israel and removal of lessons on the Jews, reported BBC Arabic.

The changes provoked preachers and scholars, issuing statements calling on the Ministry of Education to reconsider the amendments, which resulted in the order from the Crown Prince to suspend lessons teaching about Israel and the normalisation deals.

Bahrain and Israel signed a normalisation of a US-brokered Abraham Accords deal in Washington in September 2020 and, since then, they have exchanged diplomats and signed agreements in security and commerce.

However, Manama’s normalization with Israel has proven to be widely unpopular by Bahrain’s citizens who have routinely held rallies against the 2020 decision.

The first shipment, including stolen olive oil and honey from illegal Israeli occupation settlements in occupied Palestinian West Bank was exported to UAE on Sunday.

According to the Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post, the shipment included olive oil and honey from the Tura Winery in the Rehelim settlement and Paradise Honey in the Hermesh settlement.

Israeli occupation forces and police prevent Palestinian from reaching their farms where Israeli Jewish settlers steal olive and have beehives.

“This is a historic day for Samaria [the occupied West Bank] and the entire State of Israel,” Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan was reported by the Jerusalem Post saying.

On 10 December, Dagan wrote on his Facebook page that he had signed four direct export deals between settlements in the occupied West Bank and companies in the UAE.

Slamming the move, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasem said the move “is tantamount to encouraging Zionist settlement building on the occupied Palestinian lands.”

All settlements are considered illegal by international law, with the UN and other international bodies repeatedly stressing that they hinder the peace process.

The UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which was approved in 2016, asked all UN member states to distinguish in their dealings between areas of Israel within the pre-1967 lines and those outside.

Last year, the UN Human Rights Council produced a “black list” of the companies located in the occupied West Bank settlements.

Meanwhile, the EU issued guidelines for consumers labeling of settler products to ensure that it is clear that they were not made in Israel.

The European Court of Justice ruled in 2019 that Israeli products produced over the pre-1967 lines could not be labeled “made in Israel.”
