Hi Yves,
The Wikimedia Foundation runs a project called the Arab World Education Program that I hear is successful. You can read about it on the Wikimedia Blog and in the "This Month in Education" newsletter. I haven't heard of an Arab country providing a national-level endorsement to the program but I would welcome that equally with news of official endorsements from any other region.
Personally I feel that Wikimedia projects are an excellent place for people from diverse cultures and nationalities to work together in much the same way that study abroad trips provide opportunities for people to learn about other cultures and nations. On English Wikipedia we have people from many nations who work together on articles of international interest. I am proud that we collaborate in this way.

Interesting, and nice publicity with an Education Minister. It mentions History and Geography as topics.Does this mean a similar project is needed in Palestine to maintain neutrality?
