The three-day hearing in The Hague regarding the disputed West Bank fence is due to begin Monday. Various Palestinian and Israeli organizations, from both sides of the fence and of the political spectrum, are planning large demonstrations along the fence route and in The Hague. MEMRI said that the Palestinian Ministry of Education sent out instructions to all schools, asking them to devote the first class Sunday and Monday morning to the fence and its negative consequences on the Palestinian people.
