Various of European Union representatives and others at Ein Samia School that is under threat of demolition by Israeli authorities 2. Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, EU representative to the Palestinian territories, standing with people 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, EU representative to the Palestinian territories: "We as international partners have to step in. That's the reason why we decided to fund the school, and we completed this on the 15th of January 2022. So it is entirely unacceptable for the authorities of Israel to destroy this and demolish that. It violates their obligations under international law, notably international rights law, where they have to protect and promote the rights of the children under their responsibility in Palestine to enjoy education services." 4. Cutaway of von Burgsdorff talking to media 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, EU representative to the Palestinian territories: "I don't understand that court decision. I don't understand it. And I'm not going into the intricacies of the domestic legal system in Israel. The one thing I can say is that this court decision violates the international legal obligations of the state of Israel before the international community." 6.

There are about 28 families, about 200 people here. For us in this community, the school means hope. Why? Because before the establishment of the school, students used to walk about 15 kilometers to reach the nearest school, which is the Kafr Malik school. So if this school is demolished by the occupation, a large number of students will drop out of school because the parents fear for their children from the attacks by the settlers. Look, they (settlers) are in all directions around the community, trying to uproot it from this area." 12.

Wide of EU representatives at Ein Samia School SOUNDBITE(Arabic) Ayoub Alyan, Assistant undersecretary for educational affairs at the Palestinian Ministry of Education "The Ministry of Education established these schools so that education reaches all the Palestinian people. So the right to education, which is guaranteed by all international conventions and laws, is being demolished by occupation authority, instead of providing education to the people in this area." 14.
