Teachers Union Statement

The General Union of Palestinian Teachers condemned the closure of roads and the obstruction of teachers’ and students’ access to schools in Hebron Governorate. It said that around 80,000 students were denied in-person education during the fourth week of October 2026, and that 66 schools were directly affected. The union noted that on 1 November, occupying forces detained ten teachers from Jinba Basic School in Masafer Yatta, disrupting the school’s operations. It also reported that 2,872 students and 119 teachers were in areas under siege and affected by the closures. The union called for the closures to be lifted, safe access to schools to be ensured, and the detention of education staff to end. It urged international trade-union and human-rights action, accountability for those responsible, and support for those affected.
