UNRWA Teacher Alleges Hamas Indoctrination; Foreign Firms Exit Jerusalem Cable Car Project

A long-serving teacher at a UNRWA school in Gaza has come forward with allegations of Hamas glorifying violence and promoting hatred of Jews within the educational system. The teacher, who has 15 years of experience, claims that the curriculum fosters anti-Semitic sentiments and praises the militant group. Following her public statements, she reportedly received threats, including a warning that her tongue would be cut out if she continued to speak out.

In parallel, a controversial cable car project in Jerusalem is facing significant international backlash, with a fifth foreign company withdrawing its involvement. The project, intended to connect West and East Jerusalem, has drawn criticism from rights groups who argue it will displace Palestinian families and alter the cultural landscape of the city. Despite these withdrawals and concerns over land and property rights, local authorities maintain that the cable car scheme is moving forward.
