In response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, protests in solidarity with Palestinians have emerged not only in the United States but also across the world, particularly on university campuses. Demonstrators are demanding an end to the violence and urging institutions to sever ties with Israel.

Lebanon has witnessed hundreds of students gathering at university campuses in the capital city of Beirut this week. Videos from the American University of Beirut showcased protesters waving Palestinian flags and calling for the university to cut all business connections with Israel. Demonstrators expressed their concerns about both the treatment of Palestinians and the Israeli aggression towards Lebanon, which has also been targeted by Israeli forces due to its association with Hezbollah.

In Jordan, thousands of protesters have also voiced their solidarity with Palestinians, despite facing crackdowns from the authorities. Activists have been arrested, suspended, or expelled for participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations since the conflict's eruption in October. DAWN, an organization focused on human rights in the Middle East, has condemned the government's actions, stating that King Abdullah should uphold the right to protest.

Similar protests have taken place on university campuses in the United Kingdom, with students at institutions such as Oxford University, Newcastle University, Warwick University, and University College London expressing their opposition to Israel's actions. At University College London, demonstrators have called for the institution to sever ties with Tel Aviv University and boycott Israeli military-linked collaborations.

France's renowned Sciences Po Paris university has also witnessed clashes between protesters and riot police. The Sciences Po Palestine Committee, an organizing body for the protests, has released a map indicating protests scheduled at universities in France. They emphasized the expansion of the movement beyond American campuses.

In Australia, sit-in college protests have emerged in cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Canberra. Australian students have rallied for their universities to divest from Israel and disclose connections with weapons manufacturers conducting business with Israel. However, there have also been reports of antisemitism amid the protests, raising concerns about the vilification of Jewish students.

In Canada, student activists at the University of Toronto have set up a camp on the campus's common area to demand divestment from assets supporting what they describe as "Israeli apartheid, occupation, and illegal settlement of Palestine."

The global wave of solidarity with the Palestinians has been fueled by events in the United States, where protests on university campuses have received widespread attention. Students across the world are joining together, urging their institutions to take a stand against the ongoing violence and play a role in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
