Secretary of State Tony Blinken met with Palestinian leaders of the West Bank in Jordan on Saturday as he pushed for a humanitarian pause in Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed not to relent until Hamas is destroyed.
Most college students at a pro-Palestinian protest had supportive messages for Israeli hostages' families, though one said Hamas had to rebel and take civilians captive. 'I sympathize with their pain and I pray with them for their family's safe return,' Malak, an American University student, told Fox News. 'And I hope that they would understand where I'm coming from as well.
He added that he's sorry Israel caused 'the conditions that have put Gazans in a place where they need to revolt.' Students for Justice in Palestine at American University organized a walkout event Wednesday morning that drew over a hundred students and faculty in support of Palestinians. The demonstration was intended to 'demand that AU recognizes the ongoing genocide' against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, according to a post on the group's Instagram.
