A study trip for about 100 US and Israeli Jewish educators to Italy was postponed for the American participants after they were required to sign a statement on the Gaza war. Protests and objections from local groups preceded the requirement, which included distancing from the "occupation of Gaza." While 25 Israeli educators proceeded with the visit, the US group's trip was canceled due to the atmosphere. The visit, organized by the Paradigm Project, aimed to study early childhood education methods in Reggio Emilia.
