After months of surveillance, the Israeli Education Ministry, the Jerusalem District Police and the Shin Bet internal security agency issued a closure order a few weeks ago.Though the Supreme Court approved the order and rejected a petition by the Hamas-affiliated and funded company that set up the school — attended by 220 pupils from first through sixth grades — its principal ignored the writ and a complaint was filed with police. The principal was interrogated and released on Thursday, under restrictive conditions, the report said. As alternative schools for the students have been found, Al-Nukhba’s doors will soon be closed permanently.Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan defended the closure, stating, “Our sovereignty begins in Jerusalem. We will not allow the entry of terrorist organizations into [the city]. Any incitement and support for terrorism must be forcefully stopped.”Read Why did a Russian government plane secretly land in Israel? Education MinistryHamasJerusalemPalestinian incitementShin Bet
