Dozens of demolitions
Work also began on the Kotel Elevator project, 200 meters from Al-Buraq Wall, the western wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque, in order to facilitate the access of Jews who suffer from mobility disabilities to Al-Buraq Square, and thus facilitate the storming of Al-Aqsa for those who wish to do so.

In the education sector, the attack on the Palestinian curriculum in Jerusalem was renewed, and the occupation municipality threatened to conduct surprise visits to the city’s schools to ensure that its administrations distributed the “distorted” Palestinian curriculum that the municipality and the Israeli Ministry of Education impose on schools.
