Quick Glance: Wave of Pro-Palestinian Protests at US Universities
  • The number of pro-Palestinian student protests at American universities is increasing as the unrest in Gaza continues. Despite disciplinary measures and police interventions, the demonstrations persist. Protesters have set up encampments on more than a dozen campuses, urging universities to divest from companies profiting from the Israeli occupation.

  • Police in New York arrested over 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators at New York University on Monday night, following the establishment of an encampment earlier that day outside the Stern School of Business.

  • The ongoing protests have garnered strong condemnation from lawmakers. On Wednesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott criticized a protest at the University of Texas in Austin. The White House condemned antisemitism on college campuses in a statement regarding Passover on Sunday, refraining from specifying particular institutions or incidents.

Quick Glance: Trump calls deadly Charlottesville rally a 'peanut' next to Israel protests
  • Former President Donald Trump referred to a deadly neo-Nazi rally as a 'peanut' compared to ongoing protests of the Israel-Gaza conflict - diminishing the significance of a 2017 white supremacist event in Charlottesville that sparked controversy when Trump, as president, stated there were 'very fine people on both sides.'

  • In response to President Biden linking Charlottesville to his decision to run for president, Trump criticized Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, emphasizing the widespread riots and anti-Israel protests happening across the country currently.

  • Concerns about antisemitism have been raised by politicians from both parties amidst large-scale demonstrations condemning Israel. House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia University amid campus protests, which resulted in arrests.

  • Trump's portrayal of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where white supremacists protested the removal of a Confederate statue, has been viewed critically, even by some of his supporters, as a low point in his presidency. The rally turned deadly when a neo-Nazi drove into counterprotesters, causing casualties.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
  • Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

  • Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

  • Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

  • Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.
