Education Minister Yoav Kisch and Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan inaugurated the Ely Zaha elementary school in Samaria on Sunday, part of a NIS 27 million investment. The council reported a 50% increase in the number of schools in the region over the past decade. Kisch called the new school "further expression of strengthening settlement in Judea and Samaria."
Education Minister Yoav Kisch visited Samaria on Sunday alongside regional council head Yossi Dagan to inaugurate the Ely Zaha elementary school, built at a cost of NIS 27 million ($7.7 million). The school is part of a five-year plan to upgrade the Samaria Regional Council's education system, led by Dagan, with an investment of tens of millions of shekels.
The council also reported a 50% increase in the number of schools in Samaria over the past decade. At the ceremony, Kisch said the new school was "another expression of strengthening settlement in Judea and Samaria." Dagan said, "Look at the children of Samaria and you will see the future of the country."
The inauguration comes as a separate Hebrew University poll released Sunday found that 92% of Israelis view the emerging US-Iran nuclear deal as a defeat, seeing Iran as the victor of the recent military conflict. That poll was not part of the school ceremony.
