Today, Friday, the European Union confirmed that it is continuing to communicate with the Palestinian government to discuss the possibility of accelerating the disbursement of European contributions to help the Authority in this critical situation, calling for the immediate resumption of the educational process.

This came during a meeting of a delegation from the European Union office with the Minister of Education, Marwan Awartani , and the Independent Commission for Citizen Rights, to discuss the teachers' strike crisis in the West Bank.

He said, "We are closely following the consequences of the teachers' strike and the catastrophic effects on the educational process, stressing the need to find an immediate solution and overcome the current crisis."

He continued, "The European Union is the largest donor to the Palestinian people, and an essential part of the support for the salary bill is allocated to teachers' salaries."
