A Palestinian teachers union has called for the dismissal of Al-Quds University President Sari Nussaiba for 'normalising ties with Israel' and 'serving Israeli propaganda interests'.
A statement by the Palestinian Union of University Teachers and Employees (PUUTE), published on the front page of the Ram Allah-based daily Al-Ayyam, on Monday accused Nussaiba of 'normalising relations with the Sharon government' despite the Israeli prime minister's policy of 'bullying the Palestinians and stealing their land'.
"We call on all concerned parties within the Palestinian Authority, including President Mahmoud Abbas and the Higher Education Council, to take the necessary measures to put an end to this behaviour..."
...The statement also accused Nussaiba of acting against a recent decision by Britain's Association of University Teachers to boycott Israel's Haifa and Bar Ilan universities.
...Nussaiba was accused of giving attention to Israeli needs while ignoring Palestinian rights.
