AhlulBayt News Agency: The Israeli Knesset approved on Wednesday evening a law prohibiting the employment of anyone holding an academic degree from a Palestinian higher education institution in the Israeli education system, in legislation widely seen as targeting Palestinian academics inside Israel who studied at universities in the West Bank.
The law, initiated by Knesset member Amit Halevi and a group of coalition lawmakers, was passed in its second and third readings, with 31 members voting in favor, 10 against, and one abstention.
Under the new legislation, amendments are introduced to the State Education Law and the Supervision of Schools Law, stipulating that anyone holding an academic degree from a higher education institution under the Palestinian Authority will be considered as lacking the required academic qualification for employment in the education sector.
