Gaza UNRWA Teachers Spreading Incitement to Murder Israelis, Teacher Claims

A geography teacher working in UNRWA schools in the Gaza Strip for 15 years, identified only as N., has revealed in an exclusive interview that extremist and violent ideas, including incitement to murder Israelis, are being spread among students by teachers. N., 40, warned that this ongoing incitement could lead to another October 7th-style attack, potentially causing even greater destruction and death than previously witnessed.

She described instances where colleagues promoted violence and radicalism to students, and even a student who had absorbed these extremist ideas and spoke about murder and destruction. N. stated that she confronted a colleague about spreading such ideas, arguing it was contrary to Islamic principles.

UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, presents itself as neutral, but N.'s testimony adds to previous revelations of its employees' alleged involvement in terrorism, including some linked to the October 7th massacre. The Israeli military has released recordings of UNRWA teachers in Gaza discussing their participation in the October 7th events.

Another teacher, M., from a Hamas-run school in Gaza, also shared concerns about extremist ideas circulating among residents, emphasizing that the problem extends beyond Hamas and is rooted in the minds of students, parents, and teachers. These testimonies raise serious questions about the content and messages students in Gaza are exposed to within the education system, and UNRWA's role in preventing incitement to violence and murder.
