PLO official: UNRWA school curricula are “the affair of the host states… No one is allowed to intervene in our curricula”

Head of PLO Department of Refugee Affairs Anwar Hammam: "Israel has grown accustomed to the strategy of lying. Lie, lie, lie. The international community believes it and establishes committees… They are pressuring UNRWA on studies, and we say that UNRWA has no direct or indirect connection to the curricula. The curricula are the affair of the host states, the affair of Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, and they are a matter of national honor and sovereignty. No one is allowed to intervene in our curricula, our culture, and our identity. Therefore, we reject and have rejected all pressure exerted to blackmail us on the issue of studies."
