Pro-Palestinian Demonstrations at U.S. University Commencement Ceremonies

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators stage walkouts and protests during university commencement ceremonies across the U.S., calling for divestment from companies with ties to Israel. Some universities respond with police involvement, while others negotiate with students. The protests have sparked accusations of antisemitism and political controversies, including criticisms of Governor Glenn Youngkin's DEI policies. President Joe Biden's upcoming commencement address at Morehouse College is also facing scrutiny.
