Methodology

01 The following report focuses on the year 2023 and reviews the different elements of the Palestinian Authority’s educational system in Judea and Samaria, primarily in the context of the conflict with Israel and attitudes toward Israel and Jews. 02 The report examines several key aspects, including teacher guides and textbooks, the Palestinian Teachers' Union, activities that took place on school premises, content and activities on official school social networks, PLO and Fatah summer camps (including those in Gaza), UNRWA schools and teaching staff in Gaza, activities at prominent universities in Judea and Samaria, and public statements and activities of senior Palestinian Authority (PA) and Fatah officials. 03 In this context, our sincere thanks and deep appreciation are extended to research institutes and civil society organizations for their crucial work monitoring the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian agitators over many years. 71 See the annual report of UNRWA 2023, aor_2023_-_english_-_final.pdf (unrwa.org).
