Israeli Education Minister advanced a plan to ban Haaretz articles from school exams on January 12, 2026, during the reporting window from 6:47 PM to 8:17 PM UTC, despite lacking legal authority to do so, according to a Haaretz article and related X post published in this period. Haaretz reported the minister's initiative in a premium article dated January 12, 2026, confirming the plan's progression without specifying further details on implementation or rationale. Separately, the oldest and most prominent Palestinian schools in occupied Jerusalem, belonging to Christian denominations, are on strike because the Israeli occupation is not providing permits to their teachers from the rest of the occupied West Bank, according to an X post by @xabueid during the reporting window.
