The Palestinian ministry of education on Wednesday condemned the issuing of fake Palestinian history school books that contained false information on Palestine.
The ministry said in a statement that Israel issued school books that resembled official Palestinian school books, but included false information such as Jerusalem being the capital of Israel.
It added that the move was an attempt to distort the Palestinian national identity.

The ministry warned against using the Israeli-issued copies of the Palestinian school books, while calling on all schools in Jerusalem, teachers, parents, and students to be aware of the falsified school books.
