Cambridge union approves motion saying world 'failed Palestine'

The Cambridge University student union overwhelmingly approved a motion stating that the international community has failed Palestine. The debate, which featured pro-Palestine and pro-Israel speakers, was proposed by Palestinian journalist Yara Eid. This follows the student union's recent decision to disaffiliate from the National Union of Students (NUS) for its perceived failure to support pro-Palestine student protesters. In a related development, the university announced it would consider divesting from companies involved in producing controversial weapons after sustained student protests.
