Growing numbers of universities sever ties with Israeli academia over Gaza genocide

An increasing number of universities and academic bodies in Europe and South America are severing ties with Israeli institutions. This trend is driven by concerns over complicity in Israel's military actions in Gaza. Institutions in Brazil, Norway, Belgium, Spain, and Ireland have already cut links, with the University of Amsterdam also halting a student exchange program. In contrast, most universities in the UK, France, and Germany have resisted pressure from staff and students to follow suit.
