Overview
- IMPACT-se released its first review in four years on Nov. 19, examining the 2025–26 Palestinian Authority curriculum across 290 textbooks and 71 teachers’ guides.
- The report says current materials depict Jews as corrupt or enemies of Islam and include conspiracy-themed imagery, such as a globe gripped by American and Israeli arms labeled “cultural colonialism.”
- Researchers cite maps that omit Israel and lessons praising violent attacks, including laudatory material on Dalal al‑Mughrabi and a portrayal of the 1972 Munich killings as legitimate resistance.
- The study concludes no substantive reforms were made despite PA assurances to the U.S. and EU, with the EU having tied hundreds of millions of dollars in support to education benchmarks.
- The articles provide no PA response or independent corroboration of the findings, while separate statements by Israel’s foreign minister alleged increased PA terror stipends as the EU sought clarification on the payments.
