For Alison Weir's 70th birthday in 2017, friends sent special birthday greetings. This video was from Samia Khoury with kindergarteners in Rawdat El-Zuhur, an elementary school in East Jerusalem. Samia Khoury served as the president for 17 years. 

On October 18, 2022, Israeli forces stormed the family compound, badly beat Samia's grandson, and dragged him away barefoot and blindfolded. For more information on Samia and on this incident, see https://israelpalestinenews.org/from-a-palestinian-grandmother-about-whats-happening-to-her-grandson/

Journalist Alison Weir had met Samia and several of her family members on visits to the Palestinian Occupied Territories, and had toured the school.
