Hundreds of demonstrators at New York University (NYU) faced police intervention after defying warnings to leave a plaza they occupied on April 22. The crowd clashed with officers and chanted slogans demanding disclosure and divestment. Following the university's request, police made arrests for trespassing violations. The total number of arrests remains undisclosed. The protests, also occurring at Yale and Columbia, were sparked by escalating tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly after a deadly raid by Hamas militants and Israel's subsequent response in Gaza. #newyorkuniversity #palestine #israelhamaswar #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
