Qatar’s students plant olive trees in solidarity with Palestine 

LONDON: Students across 10 schools in Qatar gathered to plant 50 olive trees in solidarity with Palestine, Qatar Living reported. 

The olive tree holds significant symbolic value for many Palestinians, representing both their national identity and a deep-rooted connection to their land. The destruction of olive trees is a recurring feature of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

The initiative took place in the Gaza Garden within Education City and was led by Rola El-Annan, a teacher at Qatar Academy in Doha
