(NL Times) Jewish schools in Amsterdam will not open on Friday. The school organization Stichting Joodse Kindergemeenschap Cheider confirmed this after reporting from Het Parool and AT5. The three Amsterdam-based Jewish schools, Rosh Pina, Maimonides, and Cheider, “assume” that they will “open as normal” again on Monday, the Central Jewish Consultation (CJO) reported.
The decision to keep the schools closed on Friday was made in consultation with the CJO due to the call by the militant Palestinian movement Hamas for Muslims to demonstrate on Friday in support of the Palestinians in the occupied territories and the Gaza Strip.
The call has caused “great unrest among children, parents and teachers,” the CJO said.
