Pro-Palestinian demonstrations took place at UCLA University in Los Angeles, where firecrackers and tear gas were thrown amidst the chaos. Dozens of counter-protesters arrived at the encampment, attempting to break down the barrier made of safety rails and plywood that separated the two groups.
Reports from the UCLA student newspaper indicate that supporters of Israel were seen forcefully removing pro-Palestinian tents and engaging in confrontations with them. The mayor of Los Angeles responded to the situation by calling for police intervention at UCLA University.
Meanwhile, at Brown University, students at the protest camp agreed to vacate the area in exchange for a vote on diverting investments from companies linked to Israel. The university’s president expressed appreciation for the students’ efforts to prevent further escalation of tensions during the protests.
