The Trump administration is freezing $2.2 billion in federal funds to Harvard University after the institution rejected a list of demands that included changes to governance and audits of departments that “most fuel antisemitic harassment.”

In a five-page letter on Friday, the White House said the university has, in recent years, “failed to live up to both the intellectual and civil rights conditions that justify federal investment.”

ABU OBEIDA:

We lost contact with the group holding the soldier Eitan Alexander after a direct bombing targeted their location.

Our assessment is that the occupation army is deliberately trying to get rid of the pressure of the dual-nationality prisoners’ file to continue the war of extermination.

We launch an urgent appeal to our nation and all free people of the world to participate in a global week under the title “Gaza Appeals to You.”
