GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A state of anger and resentment prevailed over Palestinian streets that witnessed sit-ins and protests, stirred by the closure on Nov. 20 for six months of Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem. Israeli Minister of Internal Security Gilad Ardan signed the order.
Among the affected institutions are an office for the Palestinian Directorate of Education and an office providing media services to Palestine TV — a subsidiary of the Palestinian General Authority for Radio and Television and the official TV of the Palestinian Authority (PA). The official closure order was attached to the doors of these institutions.
