Arrests as police clash with students demonstrating at US universities against war in Gaza

Police made arrests after clashing with demonstrators participating in student-led protests against Israel’s war in Gaza. The arrests come amid a wave of demonstrations at campuses across the US, which began last week after students at New York’s Columbia University set up encampments calling for the university to divest from weapons manufacturers with ties to Israel. House speaker, Mike Johnson, jumped into the fray on Wednesday with a visit to Columbia’s campus, where he faced jeers from the pro-Palestinian protesters and called for the resignation of the university’s president.
