Pro-Palestinian demonstrations at UCLA University in Los Angeles turned violent, with firecrackers and tear gas being thrown among other things. Dozens of counter-protesters tried to knock down the safety rail and plywood barrier at the pro-Palestinian encampment. Reports from the UCLA student newspaper mentioned how 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.
