‘Your voices are heard’: Birzeit University says it appreciates worldwide support

The West Bank’s most prestigious academic institution says the solidarity shown by universities, student bodies and academic unions around the world for the Palestinian people are much needed and appreciated as the Israeli war on Gaza has raged for more than seventh months.

In a statement, the university, located near Ramallah, said these institutions are demanding “the boycott and divestment from all that is Israeli and are a live example of the importance of academic liberty and justice”.

“Your voices are heard and appreciated from Birzeit University, and we stand together in this struggle for freedom,” it said.
