Police once again clashed with protesters at the University of California Los Angeles as anti-Israel demonstrations returned to campus. Anti-Israel protesters rebuilt an encampment on the college grounds on Thursday, occupying space around Kerckhoff Patio. Protesters erected wooden barriers and blocked access to a small portion of the campus. Officials warned demonstrators to clear the 'unlawful assembly' but were rebuked.
The statement continued, 'Demonstrators have been informed that if they do not disperse, they will face arrest and possible disciplinary action, as well as an order to stay away from campus for 7 days.' The latest round of protests coincided with UCLA Chancellor Gene Block's appearance before the House Education Committee for a hearing on anti-semitism at U.S. universities.
Tensions on UCLA campus reached their climax on April 30, when police stormed a much larger encampment and arrested over 200 individuals. A further 40 people were arrested on May 6 and sporadic demonstrations have popped back up repeatedly since then.
