More than a dozen students at Princeton University said they were ending their hunger strike amid continued anti-Israel demonstrations at the university.
Students at Princeton University protesting Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza have called an end to their hunger strike after just 10 days. Princeton Divest Now, the student protest group that is calling for the New Jersey Ivy League university to divest from America’s Middle Eastern ally due to the high civilian death toll in the Gaza Strip, said additional strikers would be continuing their efforts.
hear us now! We will not be moved!' the group wrote in a post on May 3. The post included the demands: ' Meet with students to discuss their demands for disclosure, divestment, and a full academic and cultural boycott of Israel; Grant complete amnesty from all criminal and disciplinary charges for participants of the peaceful sit-in. Reverse all campus bans and evictions of students.
The faculty's 24-hour hunger strike, which began on Friday morning at 10 a.m., ended Saturday. 'Our daylong solidarity fast is meant to emphasize the efforts of our students who are undertaking this strike, putting their bodies on the line to show their solidarity with the Palestinian people of Gaza and the West Bank, who are being subjected to a forced famine and a genocidal assault by the state of Israel,' a faculty member said at a presser on Friday.
The student protest group has announced it will hold its next rally at Princeton on Monday, May 13. Fox News' Andrea Vacchiano contributed to this report.
