Hamas, Fatah Rivalry Causes Gaza School Strike
[Ha'aretz] In Gaza, the new school year got off to a shaky start as teachers loyal to Mahmoud Abbas declared a five-day work-stoppage. Teachers' Union Secretary-General Jameel Shehada said Hamas police took over the building belonging to the PLO-affiliated Teachers' Union, fired some employees of the education ministry, and transferred some teachers to remote schools. Hamas is expected to appoint its own teachers to replace those who went on strike, and has already appointed its loyalists as principals in most schools.
