A Channel 14 report reveals that the Ministry of Education provided funding to over 150 schools in the Kafr Aqab neighborhood of Jerusalem, but ceased supervision after staff faced violence and threats. MK Tzvi Succot (Religious Zionism) responded: 'Crazy reality — they receive tens of millions of shekels with no enforcement. This must stop.'
A new Channel 14 report states that the Ministry of Education funded over 150 schools in Jerusalem's Kafr Aqab neighborhood, but stopped supervisory oversight after staff faced violence and threats. The report does not detail the source of its information. MK Tzvi Succot, who has previously called for the closure of East Jerusalem schools over alleged Hamas links (as The Zioneer reported on June 11 and June 18), responded to the findings, calling the situation 'insane' and demanding enforcement. The Kafr Aqab area has been a focus of debate over education funding and municipal oversight. The Ministry of Education has not yet commented.
