Palestine

Back in May, law enforcement officers were called to disband a pro-Palestine rally and encampment at Wake Forest University. A committee charged with reviewing the school’s response to the protest released their findings last week. 

University officials had initially supported the students, part of a group known as Free Palestine WFU, in peacefully protesting since Tuesday afternoon. But that changed early Friday morning when officials told protesters that they had violated the agreed-upon terms of the encampment and that they would face interim suspension if they did not leave the site.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked roadways in Illinois, California, New York and the Pacific Northwest on Monday, temporarily shutting down travel into some of the nation's airports.

A Palestinian Authority official says there are around 700,000 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza who have gone six months without work since the war between Israel and Hamas began on Oct. 7.
