3:03Now PlayingStudents across US hold nationwide demonstrations at several university campuses over Israel’s war in Gaza. Protesters have demanded universities to divest assets from Israel and seek to pressure the US government. The pro-Palestine protests across universities have been against Israeli strikes on civilians in Gaza. On many campuses, especially at Columbia University, protesters have set up unauthorised tents to press their demands. University administrators from New York to California have moved up to clear protesters and prevent encampments. Meanwhile, several students across universities have been detained in a tense confrontation with police. New York police have arrested more than 120 protesters at New York University and more than 100 at Columbia University. Notably, in a bid to ease tensions, Columbia University has cancelled in-person classes following intensified protests. As protests intensified, Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson visited the Columbia campus in New York on April 24. During his visit to Columbia campus, House Speaker Johnson asked students to 'go back to class and stop the nonsense'. Republican members of the US Congress have stepped up accusations of antisemitism and harassment against Jews.
