"Israel accused of spying on Palestinian teachers who criticise Gaza war

A new investigation alleges Israel’s Education Ministry monitored and disciplined mainly Arab teachers over political speech and pro-Palestinian views.

Israel’s Education Ministry operated a secretive surveillance body that monitored teachers over political speech, with Palestinian educators emerging as the primary targets, an investigation by Israeli newspaper Haaretz alleges.

The report detailed the activities of an internal body known as the 'Incitement Committee', which allegedly gathered information on teachers’ social media activity, monitored political statements, and recommended disciplinary action against educators accused of criticising the government or expressing pro-Palestinian views.

The committee has investigated around 160 educators since the beginning of the judicial overhaul crisis in 2023, with roughly half of the cases deemed by officials to involve alleged incitement to violence or racism, the investigation states.

Most of those targeted were Arab teachers, though some Jewish educators who opposed the government or Israel’s war on Gaza were also investigated."
