Stormont’s Education Minister faces backlash for a promoted trip to Israel, questioned over its official status and timing amid Gaza conflict.
Stormont Education Minister Paul Givan is under scrutiny for a trip to Israel, promoted by the Department of Education as an official fact-finding mission.
The visit included a tour of Ofek School in Jerusalem, later highlighted on departmental social media and websites.
Critics, including the Northern Ireland Teachers’ Council, the Alliance and Sinn Féin MLAs, condemned the promotion as politically charged, questioning the trip’s official status, funding, and the use of public platforms amid ongoing conflict in Gaza and allegations of international law violations.
The department maintains the visit was part of a delegation and the school tour was an independent opportunity.
