Israel announces more demolitions in West Bank refugee camps: Palestinian ministry
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has said Israeli authorities announced the demolition of 106 Palestinian homes in the Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps within 24 hours, calling the move an extension of the “systematic atrocities” inflicted on Gaza.
The ministry said Israel’s “brutal policy of forced displacement” across the West Bank has already ousted more than 40,000 Palestinians.
“These acts constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, aimed at eroding the national and human presence of the Palestinian people in their homeland through one of the most brutal forms of forcible transfer and annexation,” the ministry said on X.
It called for “urgent, serious international action to compel Israel to halt its atrocities and comply with international legitimacy resolutions”.
University of Haifa suspends student group over Gaza protest
The University of Haifa has suspended its campus chapter of Standing Together, a left-wing activist group, following a silent protest against the ongoing war in Gaza.
The demonstration, held on April 23, involved more than a dozen students sitting silently in a campus building for 10 minutes, holding photos of Palestinian children killed in Gaza.
Five days later, the university suspended the group for the remainder of the semester, citing violations of campus regulations due to unauthorised demonstrations.
Alon-Lee Green, co-director of Standing Together, criticised the university’s decision, stating it challenges due process and freedom of expression, according to media reports. He said that the group received no warning or hearing before being informed of the suspension.
