Palestinians bring diplomats to West Bank to highlight demolition fears
The Palestinian Authority brings foreign diplomats to a school in the West Bank to highlight what it says is a renewed threat of demolition by Israel.
The school for Bedouin children was slated for demolition and highlights the battle over 60 percent of the West Bank that remains under exclusive Israeli control, known as Area C.
Palestinian Education Minister Sabri Seidam urges diplomats Wednesday to “help in protecting the school.”
