Israeli\u00a0Education Minister\u00a0Yoav Kisch vowed Monday to \u201cimmediately\u201d suspend the funding of the Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium if the Tel Aviv high school would follow through on threats to cancel class to allow pupils to protest the pending firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cZe\u2019ev Degani is a criminal,\u201d Kisch said of the school\u2019s headmaster. He noted that Degani\u2019s decision \u201cto shut down class and dispatch students to a political protest is a serious and direct violation of the Compulsory Education Law,\u201d which mandates\u00a0school attendance until the age of 17.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe education system is not a free-for-all, and we will not allow schools to become battlegrounds for political conflicts,\u201d continued the minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, Degani and the Herzliya Gymnasium\u2019s executive board were summoned for an urgent hearing on Wednesday. If the school is indeed shut down, the funding that the Herzliya Gymnasium receives from the education system will be immediately halted,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSchools are places for learning, not platforms for political propaganda. Politics will remain with the politicians,\u201d concluded Kisch\u2019s statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a missive sent to his staff earlier on Monday, Degani reportedly wrote that the Jewish state\u2019s democracy was \u201con the verge of collapse\u201d due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s announcement he would seek the dismissal of Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) chief Ronen Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can no longer remain silent. The prime minister is turning the country into a dictatorship by acting against the law,\u201d said Degani. \u201cOn Wednesday, it will be impossible to teach history and math at school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Netanyahu summoned\u00a0Bar<\/a>\u00a0for an urgent meeting on Sunday evening, where he informed him that the government would consider his firing later this week due to a lack of confidence and \u201congoing distrust.\u201d The Cabinet vote is reportedly scheduled to take place on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In August 2023, Kisch vowed to \u201cdeal with\u201d Degani after the Herzliya Gymnasium was found to encourage its students to evade mandatory military service in the Israel Defense Forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

The far-left Youth Against Dictatorship group, which had been rallying teens to refuse army service, that month took over the school in protest against Netanyahu\u2019s now-largely-shelved\u00a0judicial reform\u00a0plans. Degani was said to have officially approved the event before it took place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among other speakers, students heard from\u00a0Saleh Diab<\/a>, a violent terror supporter from eastern Jerusalem\u2019s Shimon HaTzadik\u00a0neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diab has been arrested numerous times for attacking Jews, including on suspicion of attacking Shabbat worshippers with an iron rod. In 2014, he served months in prison for aggravated assault on a Jewish neighbor.<\/span><\/p>\n
