RAMALLAH, April 29, 2026 (WAFA) – Arab and international diplomats on Wednesday made a solidarity tour in support of the students of the secondary boys’ school in al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah.
Members of the diplomatic corps to Palestine participated in this tour almost a week after armed Israeli colonists attacked Al Mughayyir and opened fire at students inside their classrooms on April 21, killing a 14-year-old Aws Al Naasan and injuring multiple children.
The delegation included EU Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process Christophe Bigot, EU Representative to Palestine Alexandre Stutzmann, Jordan’s Ambassador to Palestine Issam Al-Bdour, a host of EU and international diplomats, in addition to Ramallah Governor Laila Ghannam, and Minister of Education and Higher Education Amjad Barham.
Participants in the tour affirmed that it came within efforts to bolster students’ resilience, underscore their right to safe education, and reject the continued Israeli attacks against the school and its students.
They stressed the need to support the residents of Al-Mughayyir, as well as students and teachers, in cooperation with local and international partners, to ensure a safe and stable educational environment.
Students at the school raised slogans condemning colonist attacks and ongoing Israeli violations, and expressed their right to free and safe education.
At the conclusion of the tour, a number of participants visited the family of the slain student al Naasan and offered their condolences.
