Saudi Arabia began moving towards normalizing relations with Israel through the mediation of former US President Donald Trump. However, fearing the reaction of the Muslim world, those activities were carried out in secret.
Although the process has stopped due to the Israeli invasion of Gaza since October last year, Saudi efforts to establish cooperation with the Zionist country have not stopped.
For this purpose, the textbooks of Saudi Arabia have been changing for the past few years. Abdul Malek al-Houthi, the leader of the Iranian-backed group in Yemen, has complained that various verses of the Qur’an have been omitted from the country’s textbooks. Iran’s semi-official Meher News Agency reported this information on Saturday.
Abdul Malek al-Houthi said that verses of the Koran that warn against the negative actions of Jews have been removed from textbooks in Saudi Arabia.
Referring to such a step as a great injustice for future generations, the Houthi leader said that the Saudi government may have taken this step to normalize relations with the Israeli government.
At this time, another Arab country, the United Arab Emirates, which has established diplomatic relations with Israel, is also thinking of following this policy of excluding the teaching of the Qur’an from textbooks, Al Houthi alleged.
According to a CNN report, in May of last year, a research report published by the Israel and London-based Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education said that the latest editions of Saudi textbooks have come out of the traditional trend of presenting the relationship between Jews and Christians in a negative light. . This change has been introduced consistently in recent years.
