Pro- Palestine protests spread across campuses as Columbia University calls for inquiry into leadershipIsrael mulls Gaza truce proposal for Hamas to release 20 hostages

The senate, composed mostly of faculty members and other staff plus a few students, did not name Ms Shafik in its resolution. One member of the Columbia encampment, Khymani James, apologised for saying in a January social media video that “Zionists don’t deserve to live”. Students for Justice in Palestine at Ohio State University, a student-led group, had warned protesters of the risk of arrest on Thursday in a demonstration that gathered hundreds of students. The university’s student-run newspaper, the Lantern, reported that about 30 protesters were arrested overnight.Police with shields approached the crowd of about 250 at about 10pm on Thursday.

Emerson College assembled an encampment on Sunday to express support for the student arrests at Columbia University, the campus at the centre of the student-led protests, and demand a ceasefire in Gaza. Uproar ensued from both pro-demonstration and anti-demonstration voices after the university president called in the New York police department to clear the camp, leading to arrests and a fresh encampment springing up.
