The University of Pennsylvania joined the student activism demanding an end to Zionist crimes in Gaza and American support, and the withdrawal of university investments from the Israeli entity.

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union in Georgia state said: "We are witnessing unconstitutional suppression campaigns, with lawmakers in the state condemning excessive violence against students in solidarity with Gaza."

American media reported an increase in the number of students detained in American universities to 500 people due to their participation in protests condemning the Zionist war on Gaza.

At Indiana University in the United States, security forces arrested 33 students on campus after protesters refused to remove the camping structures set up by students in support of Palestine.
