Israeli Police Halt Far-right Settlers' March in Jerusalem Amid Racist Chants

Israeli police forcefully dispersed around 200 settlers in Jerusalem after they made provocative speeches during a march. The march, which violated conditions set by authorities, was planned to head towards the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. Similar marches in the past have led to violence against Palestinians. The cancellation of the march raised concerns about potential violence, especially during Israel's war on Gaza. Settler attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque have become more frequent, and the Old City remained closed over fears of attacks. Israel has faced criticism over violence and provocations by settlers in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Pro-Palestine Protests Rock US College Campuses Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

A video of a pro-Palestine student interrupting a mathematics lecture at MIT to protest Israeli airstrikes in Gaza has gone viral. The student accused MIT, Israel, and the US of perpetuating genocide and led chants of "free, free Palestine." However, a professor at MIT claimed that Jewish and Israeli students have been physically prevented from attending class by a hostile group of pro-Hamas and anti-Israel students. Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman criticized MIT for failing to discipline the protesters. The incident reflects the heightened tensions surrounding the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, with over 11,000 people reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza since October 7.

Palestinian Authority's Decline Empowers West Bank Militants

Protests have erupted across the West Bank in solidarity with Gaza, as scenes of carnage from the ongoing conflict have deepened anger at the Western-backed Palestinian Authority and increased local support for Hamas.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has cut short a visit to Jordan and called the hospital strike in Gaza a "heinous war crime," while Palestinians criticize him for his muted presence during the conflict. Armed groups in the West Bank are preparing for potential clashes with the Israeli army, and tensions are escalating as the situation worsens.

Supporters of Palestine held a demonstration in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was met by pro-Israel counterprotesters. The two groups shouted at each other from across the street, with the pro-Israel supporters condemning Hamas' violence as terrorism, while the pro-Palestine demonstrators called for Palestinian statehood.
