Today, right-wing activists from the 'Bezalmo' movement disrupted a session at the Jerusalem District Court, which was examining a petition by the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum seeking to reinstate the forum's educational program in schools after it was banned by the Ministry of Education. This decision goes against previous court rulings that had allowed such programs. The abrupt halt to the discussion left bereaved families and attending educators without a chance to present their case.

Attorney Tal Hossin, representing the petitioners from the Association for Civil Rights, stated that the Ministry of Education had dismissed the forum’s 'Dialogue Meetings' program based on assumptions and fears, rather than solid evidence. The program aimed to foster understanding and dialogue between different narratives, particularly those tied to loss and grief from violence. The resistance from right-wing activists during the court hearing underscores a profound societal division regarding how such sensitive subjects are handled in educational settings.

The disruption in court reflected entrenched attitudes toward the representation of Palestinian families within Israeli educational discourse. A participant in the courtroom, Herzl Hajag, whose daughter was murdered in a terrorist attack, vocally opposed the inclusion of families connected to violence, illustrating the tension and deep-seated emotions surrounding the topic. As the judge, Abraham Rubin, called for order, he ended the session, indicating that a ruling would be communicated to the lawyers later, further complicating the legal and educational landscape in Israel concerning bereaved families' interactions with schools.
