Settlers outraged after Tel Aviv puts maps with Green Line in schools – By Uri Sela/Walla (Jerusalem Post) / Aug 23, 2022
The Education Ministry criticized the municipality’s decision to distribute the unapproved maps to schools.
The Tel Aviv Municipality has started hanging maps of Israel in schools with the Green Line marked, despite an Education Ministry prohibition on the matter, after a decision was made by mayor Ron Huldai. Haaretz first reported on the decision to hang the maps on Sunday.
According to the Education Ministry, the only maps that are allowed to be used in educational institutions are those that are prepared by the Survey of Israel (SOI) and receive its approval. The ministry criticized the municipality’s decision to distribute the unapproved maps to schools.
“This is an amateur and non-professional map, invented by the Tel Aviv municipality. This is reflected in the cartography and the trending use of the term ‘sovereignty line,'” the ministry stated, clarifying that “the map was not submitted for approval by the Education Ministry, and therefore it is not approved for study nor for use as a poster on the walls.”
