New universities have joined the student movement witnessed by many American and Western universities in solidarity with the Palestinians.

In the Netherlands, students at the University of Amsterdam set up a camp on the campus in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a devastating Israeli war for 7 months.

The students called on the university administration to sever its ties with institutions affiliated with Israel.

In Spain, demonstrations in solidarity with Palestine spread in various universities in the Basque regions, Navarre, Aragon, Andalusia, and Catalonia.

Students from the University of the Basque Country and Navarre announced that the protests would continue indefinitely by setting up camps, as happened in Valencia.

In France, students from the University of Paris 8 went out in a demonstration in support of Gaza and to denounce the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

The students chanted slogans: “Freedom for Palestine,” “Stop genocide,” and “Long live Palestine.”

In Bangladesh, students from various universities organized a march in support of Palestine, demanding “an end to the genocide in Gaza.”

The students raised Palestinian flags and slogans such as “Free Palestine” and “Stop genocide.”

On April 18, students and academics who rejected the war on Gaza began a sit-in on the campus of Columbia University in New York, demanding that its administration stop its academic cooperation with Israeli universities and withdraw its investments in companies that support the occupation of Palestinian territories.

With the intervention of the police and the arrest of dozens of protesters, the state of anger expanded to extend to universities in countries such as France, Britain, Germany, Canada and India, all of which witnessed demonstrations and demands to stop the war on Gaza and boycott the companies that supply weapons to Israel.

Since October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which has left tens of thousands dead and wounded, most of them children and women, massive destruction, and famine that has claimed the lives of children and the elderly.

Israel continues its war despite the issuance of an immediate ceasefire resolution by the Security Council, and despite its appearance before the International Court of Justice on charges of committing "genocide."
