Israel demolishes school built with international aid in West Bank: Reports

A school for Palestinian children demolished by Israeli authorities in Hebron Hills, occupied West Bank was funded by a consortium of donor governments from Europe, the UK and Canada, reports find.

Martin Konecny, director of the Brussels-based EuMEP (European Middle East Project) advocacy group, said the unwillingness of governments "to hold Israel to account is emboldening it to continue and accelerate these crimes".

Yehuda Shaul, co-director of Ofek – The Israeli Center for Public Policy, shared an image showing the several donor governments who contributed to building the school, which catered to 60 children from kindergarten to fourth grade.

@MartinKonecny you're right. The school was built from international aid given by various international donors. Here's a picture of the sign of donors that was stuck on the now demolished school building. https://t.co/jSUfBbyoqK pic.twitter.com/apODtfZauD
