RAMALLAH, March 14, 2016 (WAFA) - The announcement of a Palestinian teacher from the West Bank as a winner of the Valley Park Foundation’s 2016 Global Teacher’s Prize during a ceremony in Dubai hit the front page headlines in Palestinian dailies.

The three dailies reported that Hanan al-Hroub, from the Bethlehem district Duheisha refugee camp, was announced as a global teacher.

Al-Hroub was reported in al-Quds as saying: “We want our children to live in peace.”

Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah was reported in al-Hayat al-Jadida as congratulating al-Hroub on her win. He was quoted as stating: “Despite being surrounded by the wall and settlements, we prove ourselves each day to be innovative and not driven by desperation.”

Furthermore, al-Quds and al-Ayyam highlighted that Palestinian public teachers resumed work after suspending a three-week strike.

They explained that 100% classes have resumed in all of districts.

Al-Quds and al-Hayat al-Jadida covered Israeli forces and settlers’ assaults against Palestinians across the occupied Palestinian territories.

Both dailies reported that settlers forced their way into Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

Israeli forces reportedly shot and critically injured a Palestinian young man near the central West Bank city of Ramallah and detained 15 others from the West Bank (WB).

Al-Quds also reported that forces blockaded five Palestinian villages, south of Nablus, and handed a demolition notice for a house in the Jerusalem town of al-Issawiya.

The three dailies reported Israel’s Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yousef urging Israeli soldiers to kill knife-wielding Palestinians. Yousef was reported in al-Quds as saying it was a religious duty to do so.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Ayyam reported that Israel denied Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi access into the occupied Palestinian Territories.

Citing a Haaretz report, al-Hayat al-Jadida reported that Israeli police target Palestinians using a serious type of foam-tipped bullets.

The three dailies reported US Secretary of State John Kerry as stating: “We are all looking for a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”

He was reported in al-Ayyam as explaining that such a solution requires international support.

The so-called Israeli Civil Administration was reported in al-Quds and al-Ayyam as admitting that hundreds of setter units are built beyond the zoning boundaries of West Bank settlements.

Highlighting a Hamas delegation’s visit to Cairo, al-Quds reported Hamas well-informed sources as saying that they discussed with Egyptian intelligence Palestinian reconciliation, Rafah border crossing, bilateral relations, the case of four Palestinians kidnapped in Sinai Peninsula and border security.

Highlighting the politicization of Israeli archaeological digs in ancient Islamic cemetery of Ma’man Allah, also known as Mamilla, al-Quds covered Israeli revelations that hundreds of Islamic tombs were destroyed in the cemetery.
