Anadolu reports that pro-Palestinian students have resumed at Dutch universities.

Hundreds of students and academics gathered at the University of Amsterdam’s Roeterseiland (UvA) campus to protest the school administration for not severing ties with Israeli institutions.

The university administration closed the main entrance as a precaution and police were positioned around the campus.

The students, who were beating drums and chanting slogans in support of Palestine, asked police to leave campus.

The protestors, also waving Palestinian flags, carried banners that said, “UvA: Stop the lies, cut all ties, Freedom for Palestine now, Boycott Israel.”

A small group also held a demonstration at the Free University of Amsterdam (VU) last week during the opening ceremony of the new academic year.
