Tunisian teachers, strongly condemned the history and geography exams for its recognition Israel as a state in the city of Gastrin on Monday.

Al-Quds al Arabi reported that the teachers in Tunisia attended in a protest to voice their anger against the appearance of state of Israel in the recent exam paper, in the city of Gastrin on Monday.

The teachers said that they would never correct the papers as long as such a blatant lie about the occupying regime was printed on them.

The representative of teachers said, the Israel is the occupying regime and the Zionist entity in the minds of the Tunisian students.

   He added, Palestinian people and their land is very important for us.

He also said that Tunisia had not recognized Israel as a state since 1947, when the occupying regime emerged in the Middle East.

More than half a million Israelis live in over 230 settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Al-Quds. The presence and continued expansion of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian lands have created a major obstacle for efforts to establish peace in the Middle East.
