Christian schools in Jerusalem suspend classes to protest at Israeli restrictions

Christian schools in Jerusalem have suspended classes and are planning further strikes to protest new Israeli restrictions on work permits. The policy affects 235 teachers from the West Bank who have been denied full permits, disrupting their ability to teach on all school days. This action impacts over 12,000 students across 15 schools and threatens the livelihoods of experienced teachers who are difficult to replace. School officials state this is an unprecedented and arbitrary measure that adds to the many challenges they already face.
