Story

Authorities have cleared a pro-Palestine encampment at California State University, Los Angeles, after protesters occupied a school building, resulting in no arrests or injuries. The encampment demanded divestment from companies connected to Israel's actions in Gaza and the occupied territories. The university president stated that the encampment engaged in unlawful acts, leading to its dispersal. The protesters accused the administration of giving zero notice before clearing the encampment. The school had previously announced it would not alter investment policies related to Israel. The encampment was established about 40 days ago and was cleared without the use of force or arrests. Classes at the university will remain virtual.
