Trump freezes $584m in funding for California university over Gaza protests

The Trump administration has frozen $584m in federal funding for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) due to pro-Palestinian protests on campus. This action follows government reprimands and threats to cut federal funds for universities over protests against Israel's war in Gaza. The government alleges that UCLA allowed antisemitism during the demonstrations. Protesters contend that their criticism of Israel's military actions and its occupation of Palestinian territories is being wrongly equated with antisemitism.
