Christian schools in Jerusalem under threat as Israel restricts teachers – RT reports (VIDEO)
المصدر: RT English | Source: RT EnglishNew Israeli permit rules have put historic church-run schools and their West Bank teachers in Jerusalem at risk
Christian schools in Jerusalem are facing a growing crisis after Israel moved to restrict West Bank teachers from working in the city. The decision affects more than 200 educators across 15 historic institutions, raising fears that some schools could be forced to close due to a shortage of qualified local staff.
Church officials warn the move – which they consider politically motivated – could have wider consequences for the Christian presence in Jerusalem, while teachers say it threatens their livelihoods and ability to access the city.
The restrictions follow a 2025 bill targeting Palestinian educators trained in West Bank universities – a justification disputed by those affected.
