Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the Palestinian Authority's school curriculum compliance with the Memorandum of Understanding signed between her Department and the Palestinian Authority.

Our support to the Palestinian Authority (PA) is underpinned by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which requires the PA to commit to the principle of non-violence and address allegations of incitement to violence. In May 2018, we assessed the PA had adhered to the terms of the MoU. At the same time, we have discussed the issue of incitement in the education system with our counterparts in the Palestinian Authority, and are now working to commission a robust study into the new Palestinian textbooks.
