Education Minister Naftali Bennett has summoned a public school principal and teacher from the same eastern Jerusalem Arab-sector school to explain reports they continue to encourage students to attack IDF soldiers and security forces.
Director-General of the ministry, Mrs. Michal Cohen on Tuesday, 7 Cheshvan, summoned the two, from a Beit Haninah elementary school in the capital.
The two allegedly use their positions in the school to influence the children to advance their political agenda.
Bennett added โWe has spoken enough about incitement and the time has come to act. Such actions in a school are like gasoline on a fire and the furthest possible thing from education. I am sad for those parents who applaud for their children sent out to be killed, and those members of the education community permitting this will be dealt with harshly:.

And who pays their SALARIES????
Goodbye & good luck, find a job in Amman or Damascus
This is not just an education issue, but a national-security issue. The fact that an arrest warrant hasn’t been issued, is a sign that the powers that be are still not taking this seriously.
