Our comprehensive review of the Palestinian Authority’s 2025–26 national school curriculum, analyzes 290 textbooks and 71 teacher guides used in West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem schools (including UNRWA). The study finds the materials substantively unchanged from prior editions and documents recurring patterns across subjects: promotion of jihad and martyrdom, glorification of terrorism, incitement of antisemitism, rejection of peacemaking and the two-state solution, and erasure of Israel from maps.The report notes these themes across subjects, including science and math textbooks, in which violence is normalized. Meanwhile, language exercises and teacher guides include narratives that idealize armed struggle and present historical figures who perpetrated deadly attacks on civilians as role models. Overall, the findings provide an evidence-based portrait of the current curriculum’s content, themes, and classroom guidance.
