Protesters, in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict, expanded their activism to various universities. Notably, at Harvard University, the Palestinian flag replaced the US flag, and a large Palestinian flag was displayed at the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

Law enforcement apprehended individuals at Northeastern University (100 arrests), Washington University in St. Louis (80 arrests), Arizona State University (72 arrests), and Indiana University (23 arrests). Clashes occurred at UCLA, where pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian groups clashed near a previously established tent encampment.

These nationwide protests garnered the attention of President Joe Biden, prompting the White House to stress the need for peaceful demonstrations. Campus activists called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict and urged universities to cut ties with Israel and associated companies profiting from the Gaza crisis.

University administrations grappled with balancing free speech rights while addressing concerns about potential anti-Semitic and hate speech incidents arising from the rallies.

During a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Biden reiterated his opposition to a potential invasion of Rafah, a Gaza border city. The conflict arose from Hamas's attack on Israeli towns on October 7, resulting in casualties and hostage situations. Israel's subsequent military response in Gaza has led to significant casualties.

In essence, these protests highlight deep-rooted tensions and the urgent need for peace and accountability in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
