April 2024 Israel–Hamas war protests on university campuses in the United States

Pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses escalated on April 17, 2024, spreading to other universities in the United States and other countries, as a part of wider Israel–Hamas war protests. The escalation began after mass arrests at the Columbia University campus occupation, led by anti-Zionist groups, in which protesters demanded the university’s disinvestment from Israel over its alleged genocide of Palestinians.[5][6] As of May 3, over 2,300 protesters have been arrested,[4] including faculty members and professors,[1][7] on more than 40 U.S. campuses.[8] The different protests’ varying demands include severing financial ties with Israel and its affiliated entities, transparency over financial ties,[9] and amnesty for protesters.[10] In response, universities have suspended students, with some also expelled.[1][11]

The U.N. blames Israel for restricting aid distribution, while Israel criticizes U.N. agencies for not distributing supplies.
