U.S. universities, including Columbia and Harvard, are advising international students to return to campus before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, due to concerns over potential travel bans and stricter immigration policies. This caution stems from past experiences with Trump's travel bans, which affected students from Muslim-majority countries.

US to Impose Travel Bans on Israeli Extremists Amidst Escalating Violence

The Biden administration is reportedly planning to impose travel bans on Israeli settlers accused of carrying out attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. Secretary of State Antony Blinken conveyed this message to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that the administration wants to hold settlers accountable for their actions. The travel bans, which could be announced as early as next week, would exclude affected settlers from the Visa Waiver Program. The move comes as the Israeli Defense Forces enter the "next stage of the war" following the collapse of a cease-fire deal, and Pakistan condemns Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, calling for a renewed cease-fire for humanitarian aid delivery.
