Former Syria rewrites school textbooks. In them, the Ottoman Empire is no longer conquering. Israel remains Israel. Baathist and pan-Arab ideas from the Assad era are giving way to Islamic and pan-Islamic ideology in the former Syria's 2025-2026 curriculum, according to a report by Influence Yourself. In 130 textbooks, the term "Ottoman occupation" was replaced by "Ottoman rule" and Tay was defined as part of Turkey. At the same time anti-Semitic views are maintained, denying the existence of Israel, called Israel, a thief and an abomination.
