Student protest movements and sit-ins continue at many American universities to demand an end to the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
The protesters called on the United States to stop arming Israel and helping it target civilians inside the Gaza Strip, and to move to stop the war, release Israeli prisoners and push for a political solution.
At Columbia University, police arrested dozens of students during the demonstration, where a demonstration took place in front of the police station demanding the release of detainees who participated in demonstrations in support of the Gaza Strip.
Columbia University President Nemat Shafiq admitted at a meeting of the university’s council of elders that her call in the police to deal with students supporting Palestine has exacerbated the problem.
At the University of Texas, police arrested more than 40 students during the protest on campus, with President Jay Herzl saying he would not allow protests to occupy the university, noting that pro-Palestine demonstrations were banned.
Students at Brown University in Rhode Island set up a Gaza solidarity camp to reject Israel’s more than 200-day war on the territory.
Amnesty International has urged US university administrations to respect and protect students’ right to peaceful protest.
At Emerson University, videos posted on X-based U.S. local platforms showed large numbers of police and clashes with pro-Palestine and Gaza demonstrators on the college’s campus.
Harvard students also stormed the university yard after the university administration prevented entry, where students began to set up tents to start the sit-in in solidarity with the Gaza Strip.
The Council of Islamic Affairs of America had earlier said the campaign against the students with a previous military force was dangerous.
