Jerusalem schools to strike over security budget shortfall
Middle schools and high schools in Jerusalem will be shuttered on Thursday, parents and the municipality say, due to concerns over the lack of security provisions during the ongoing violence in the city.
The cost of providing security at the schools stands at some NIS 15 million (approx. $4 million), the Ynet website says.
Discussion are also being held on possible strikes in the Arab cities of Nazareth and Umm al-Fahm, as well as in the mixed Jewish-Arab city of Haifa.
