But with pressure growing on the EU to pull education funding until the curriculum is changed, the Palestinian Authority has responded that it would rather self-fund education for Palestinian children than take out the hate messages.

 

In order to avoid pressure from donor countries to take out the hate and terror promotion, PLO Executive Committee member and Secretary-General of the Palestinian People's Party Bassam Al-Salehi, repeated the PA’s rejection of “all foreign aid that imposes conditions on the education.” Instead, Al-Salehi said, PA education should be paid “only from the [PA] budget, from the PA’s income.”
