The European Union has expressed strong disapproval regarding Israel's decision to demolish a school under construction in the northern West Bank village of al-Aqaba. The school, which received funding from both the EU and France, was intended to accommodate hundreds of Palestinian students from various communities.
An EU spokesperson issued a statement on Tuesday, highlighting the union's expectation for its investments in Palestinian communities to be shielded from damage and destruction under international law. The demolition has sparked international criticism, particularly from its key financial backers.
France has voiced its condemnation as well, emphasizing the importance of holding Israeli authorities accountable for their actions. The collaborative efforts to support educational infrastructure for Palestinians now face significant challenges following this incident.
