Saudi Curriculum Changes Ease Israel Rhetoric
A recent report from the organization "Impact-SEA" indicates that Saudi educational curricula have undergone gradual modifications over the past two years. These changes include refining the way the Palestinian issue and Israel are addressed; for instance, phrases that used harsh language such as "the Zionist enemy" and "Muslims will not relinquish Jerusalem" have been removed. The term "Israeli occupation" has replaced "Zionist enemy." Additionally, Palestinian names have been removed from maps, though the Palestinian cause continues to be mentioned indirectly. Content related to Jews and Christians has been toned down as part of efforts to promote moderation, communication, and coexistence within the framework of Vision 2030. However, these adjustments do not imply official recognition of Israel or any direct steps toward normalization of relations. The relationship between these educational changes and the Saudi political stance remains unclear, with ongoing linkage of relations with Israel to political conditions related to the Palestinian cause.
