In April 2018, Great Britain commissioned the German Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research (GEI) to provide an expert opinion on Palestinian textbooks.

The institute then published the so-called “Inception Report”, which represents the preliminary work for a later complete report, but which turned out to be flawed and is full of translation errors.

The EU then joined the investigation, but has now decided to publish its own, already classified interim report and a final report, again with the involvement of the GEI.

An independent review by IMPACT-se shows that Palestinian textbooks contain an overwhelming amount of calls for violence, terror, martyrdom, jihad and anti-Semitism.

Both the EU and the UK initiated the reviews following the IMPACT-se report and the subsequent parliamentary calls for a review of the form of taxpayer money for incitement in the Middle East and within the United Nations Relief and

Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East (UNRWA). In April 2018, Great Britain commissioned the German Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research (GEI) to provide an expert opinion on Palestinian textbooks.

The institute then published the so-called “Inception Report”, which represents the preliminary work for a later complete report, but which turned out to be flawed and is full of translation errors.

The EU then joined the investigation, but has now decided to publish its own, already classified interim report and a final report, again with the involvement of the GEI.

The EU is now trying to distance itself from the report and in Great Britain the question arises as to what the expensive GEI report was like. According to Offenberger, the EU study started in September 2019 and should be completed by the end of 2020.

There is no final report yet, ”she said. “In July an interim report was submitted to the EU for approval. The purpose of the interim report is to keep partners informed of the current state of progress and to get feedback on the proposed methodology.

The Commission will present the results of the study to stakeholders and the European Parliament and will inform the latter of the results of its bilateral dialogue with the Palestinian Authority. "

Offenberger explained that the opening report "did not serve as the basis for the EU-funded textbook study." Sheff wanted to know why, but Offenberger's further inquiries from JNS went unanswered.

It is unclear why the EU withheld the interim report for review by legislators, media and scientists. For some inexplicable reason, the EU has committed to keep the interim report under lock and key, despite requests from the UK government to publish it.

On July 1, the EU stated that the interim report will not be published, despite the fact that it has published interim reports that it had commissioned in the past. But in the United States at least it's not all evening. New legislation is currently being discussed in Congress.

The Law on Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education (HR2343), introduced in April 2019,

is a bill instructing the U.S. Department of State to be used annually by Congress through that provided by the Palestinian Authority or UNRWA in the West Bank and Gaza Strip Report school supplies.

The bill states that "the new Palestinian curricula do not meet UNESCO's international standards for peace and tolerance in educational materials." holds. Frankly, given the debacle this research project has become, one can understand why
