Pro-Palestinian Encampment Cleared at University of Houston

After a prolonged standoff, police cleared a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Houston, Texas. The encampment was erected at Butler Plaza in protest of Israel's actions in Gaza and to condemn US support for Israel. During the clearance, two students were arrested for failing to identify themselves, assaulting a police officer, and one for resisting arrest. The university upheld the right to free speech but enforced policies against tents and encampments on campus grounds. Protests similar to this have occurred globally, reflecting widespread condemnation of Israel's actions.
