Israel Hayom reports a live uncertainty over whether schools will reopen nationwide, as officials await a decision on the Home Front Command's civil-defense status. The report comes after Education Minister Kisch said earlier that the direction is to reopen, pending the prime minister's decision.
The Israeli education system's status for the coming days remains uncertain, according to a report by Israel Hayom published Sunday evening. The report summarizes the evolving situation: schools have been closed nationwide since the Home Front Command issued its latest civil-defense directives amid the ongoing security escalation. Education Minister Yoav Kisch stated earlier today, in an interview with Army Radio, that the 'direction is to reopen' all schools as early as Monday, pending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's final decision. However, the Home Front Command has not yet announced a change to its restriction levels, creating a window of ambiguity for parents and students. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the Education Ministry had cancelled all classes, exams, and distance learning over the weekend, and Kisch later confirmed schools would remain closed today. The new report indicates the outcome hinges on a potential shift to the 'green' (routine) civil-defense status, which would permit normal activity outside the frontline areas. No decision has been announced as of 18:07 Jerusalem.
