Over 200 pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with police at Columbia University when officers violently removed some activists who were taking part in a demonstration against ex-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s speech. This came as US President Donald Trump threatened to cut federal funding to colleges, universities and schools allowing what he called ‘illegal protests', launching a review into Columbia University.
