Yale Revokes Status of Yalies4Palestine After Protest

Yale University revoked the recognized status of the student group Yalies4Palestine after a brief protest encampment on campus ahead of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's off-campus event. The university cited violations of protest policies and alleged antisemitic conduct, including reports that protesters blocked Jewish students' access to spaces. Yalies4Palestine was previously warned about policy violations, promoted the demonstration on social media, but denied directly organizing the protest. The protest, involving around eight tents and about 200 participants, was dispersed within hours following warnings from Yale officials. The event, hosted by the campus group Shabtai, drew controversy and a mix of local and out-of-town protesters condemning Ben-Gvir's views. Yale is continuing its investigation, with potential disciplinary actions pending for students involved.
