Students in Paris - inspired by Gaza solidarity encampments at campuses in the United States - blocked access to a campus building at a prestigious French university on Friday. The pro-Palestinian protest at the Paris Institute of Political Studies, known as Sciences Po, prompted administrators to move all classes online. It came two days after police broke up a separate demonstration at the university’s amphitheatre outside one of its Paris campuses. On Friday, scores of protesters occupied a central campus building and dozens of others blocked its entrance with trash cans, wooden platforms a...

New York (AFP) - Columbia University backed off late Thursday from an overnight deadline for pro-Palestinian protesters to abandon an encampment there as more college campuses in the United States sought to prevent occupations from taking hold. Police have carried out large-scale arrests in universities across the country, at times using chemical irritants and tasers to disperse protests over Israel's war with Hamas. The office of New York-based Columbia University president Minouche Shafik issued a statement at 11:07 pm (0307 GMT Friday) retreating from a midnight deadline to dismantle a larg...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Pro-Palestinian protests spread to more college campuses in the United States on Thursday as authorities appeared to be running out of patience and police began to push back forcefully. Riot officers used chemical irritants and tasers at one university as administrators at some of the country's most prestigious institutions battled to prevent occupations taking hold. Staging sit-ins and mounting boisterous demonstrations, the activists are calling for a ceasefire in Israel's war with Hamas, as well as for colleges to sever ties with the country and with companies they say p...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump on Thursday condemned pro-Palestinian protests sweeping US colleges, saying the level of "hate" on display was far worse than during an infamous, deadly rally by right-wing extremists in Charlottesville in 2017. "We're having protests all over," Trump told reporters as he left the Manhattan courtroom where he is standing trial on charges of falsifying business records. "Charlottesville was a little peanut, and it was nothing compared -- and the hate wasn't the kind of hate that you have here, this is tremendous hate," he said. The "Unite the Right" rally in Charlo...

London (AFP) - The UK on Thursday joined the United States and Canada in announcing a fresh set of sanctions against Iran's drone and missile industries after its recent attack on Israel. Tehran launched its first direct military assault on Israeli territory nearly two weeks after an April 1 air strike -- widely blamed on Israel -- that killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Damascus. Iran's large-scale attack involved more than 300 drones and missiles, most of which were shot down by Israel and its allies including Washington and London, causing little damage. The U...

Dubai (AFP) - US-led coalition forces shot down four drones and an anti-ship missile launched by Yemen's Huthi rebels, American authorities said Thursday, as the Iran-backed group announced strikes against US and Israeli ships.

The incidents follow a lull in attacks by the Huthis, who launched dozens of missile and drone strikes targeting shipping since November, saying they were acting in solidarity with Palestin...

Israel says it is “moving ahead” with plans to launch a full-scale ground offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah. Government spokesperson David Mencer said the target is four Hamas battalions reportedly based in the city, warning “they cannot be shielded from Israel.” The Israeli government previously declared Rafah a safe zone and more than half of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million sought shelter there. Israel has threatened for weeks to move in on the city, plans that have drawn intense opposition from the country’s allies and human rights groups who say an offensive could cause thousa...

Austin (AFP) - Spiraling pro-Palestinian protests that are rocking universities across the United States spread to more campuses Wednesday, triggering suggestions from a senior Republican leader that the National Guard could be brought in. The comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson are likely to evoke strong emotions in a country where the 1970 killing by National Guardsmen of unarmed students protesting the Vietnam war lives on in folk memory. Demonstrations erupted at the University of Southern California on Wednesday, and in Texas, where a tense stand-off developed between students and po...

New York (AFP) - Yazen has slept on Columbia University's south lawn almost every night for more than a week now, one of several dozen students living at the prestigious school's "Gaza Solidarity Encampment."

Since last Monday, dozens of students and alumni have come together to express solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where Isr...
