Saudi Arabia omits Jerusalem phrase from textbooks
The article focused on making an adjustment to the Saudi curriculum, where the phrase "Muslims will never abandon Jerusalem" was removed from the 11th-grade Arabic language textbook starting with the 2024-2025 edition. This change was considered by IMPACT-se as a step towards removing political and religious symbols associated with the Jerusalem conflict, and is seen as an indicator of a shift in Saudi educational content. Israel welcomed the move and there are expectations of improved relations between the two countries in the future. Additionally, the revisions included replacing the term "Zionist enemy" with "Israeli occupation" in some history books, deleting or modifying maps that depicted Palestine, with full recognition of Israel still not present in certain cases. The content deemed to be offensive to Jews, Christians, Shia Muslims, and Sufis has begun to be reduced, as part of Saudi Arabia’s effort to promote a message of tolerance and coexistence.
