Hundreds of students gathered at Yale’s Beinecke Plaza to protest a planned appearance by far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir at Shabtai, a Jewish society located near campus.
Around 200 students set up eight tents and chanted, “We will not stop, we will not rest. Disclose, divest,” urging the university to take a stand against Israel’s war on Gaza. Ben-Gvir, who has publicly called for the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, is on his first US visit since becoming minister.
The crowd dispersed late Tuesday, but organisers pledged to return later today.
