Adalah, an Arab human rights center in Israel, reported that Israeli universities have permanently or temporarily expelled 100 Palestinian students for criticizing the Israeli war on Gaza since October 2023, according to Shehab Wire. The removals followed student activism and public opposition to military operations in the enclave over the past year and a half.
The action marks a broad enforcement campaign targeting Palestinian dissent within Israeli academic institutions. University administrations cited student statements and activism related to the conflict as grounds for the disciplinary measures, which have ranged from temporary suspensions to permanent expulsion from campus and degree programs.
