The Prime Minister called on teachers who abstain from working hours to return to work from tomorrow to preserve the future of students and to commit to compensating students according to the plan of the Ministry of Education.

In another context, the Council of Ministers condemned projects aimed at undermining the refugee issue through the so-called review of the definition of Palestinian refugees and redefining the role of UNRWA, leading to the abolition of refugee status for the descendants of refugees, defining the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and presenting a distorted narrative of history.

The Prime Minister affirmed the rejection and condemnation of this, which is considered an underestimation of the Palestinian grievance and the extent of the injustice and suffering inflicted on our people since 1948.

Shtayyeh called for preserving and supporting the UNRWA and adhering to the resolutions of international legitimacy related to refugees.

He stressed that the statements of the Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other members of the Israeli government against the Palestinians and their cause reflects the approach of this extremist government, stressing that the terrorism of the settlers in Hawara, Burin, Beita, and other places is supported and protected by the Israeli political level and the occupation army.

Shtayyeh said, "We are facing organized and systematic state terrorism, which is implemented through several tools, the most important of which are the colonizers' gangs. Hawara and all our towns will remain, and the occupation will end."

The Prime Minister welcomed the statements of the countries that condemned in the strongest terms the colonialists’ terrorism against Palestinian civilians, and the positions that called for stopping the construction of new settlement units, calling for the translation of these condemnations into concrete measures and the enthusiasm of the occupation and its government for encouraging the colonialists’ terrorism.

He stressed the need to place the colonizers' militias on the lists of international terrorism.

In another context, he indicated that about 8 million shekels have been collected for the benefit of those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, and coordination is underway with the relevant authorities to deliver it.
