Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered at UCLA University in Los Angeles, resulting in violent clashes. Firecrackers and tear gas were among the objects thrown during the protests. The protesters tried to break down a barrier made of safety rails and plywood at the encampment. According to reports from the UCLA student newspaper, supporters of Israel were forcibly removing pro-Palestinian tents and engaging in confrontations.
The mayor of Los Angeles addressed the situation by stating that the police were responding immediately to intervene at UCLA University amidst the ongoing clashes. Meanwhile, at Brown University, students agreed to vacate the protest camp in exchange for a vote on the diversion of investments from companies associated with Israel. The university president expressed appreciation for the students’ efforts in taking steps to prevent further escalation of the situation.
