| Many Palestinians see Hebrew as the language of the enemy. |
High school students in the Gaza Strip may be taught Hebrew, the main language of Israel, beginning next year, according to a senior Hamas official in Gaza.
Gaza Strip Education Ministry undersecretary Ziad Thabet said Monday the government still needed to approve the decision, but it was likely to go ahead, and the government was already trying to find and train Hebrew teachers.
Thabet said students should be introduced to as many languages as possible. Hebrew is currently only offered as a university course in Gaza.
Many Palestinians see Hebrew as the language of the enemy. However, Hebrew used to be widely spoken in Gaza, particularly by those who worked in Israel before it started, a decade ago, to block laborers from entry amid escalating violence.
