..PARIS, FRANCE - APR. 24, 2025: Hundreds of students at Sciences Po university in Paris, France, staged a sit-in on Thursday (Apr. 24), occupying parts of the university’s main campus to protest the institution's ties with Israeli academic institutions amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Protesters gathered both inside and outside the building, displaying banners and Palestinian flags while chanting slogans including “Palestine will prevail” and “Long live Palestine.” Some students painted their hands red to symbolize bloodshed in Gaza, while signs accused the university of being complicit in what protesters referred to as a "genocide." A masked spokesperson called on the administration to sever ties with Israeli universities, specifically naming Tel Aviv University for its alleged connection to Israeli military operations. Israel resumed its offensive on the Gaza Strip on March 18, abandoning a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January. It has killed nearly 51,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in the enclave since October 2023. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war that has left the territory on the brink of famine.
