In New Haven, Connecticut, protests have erupted on the campus of Yale University over a planned speech this evening by Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right Israeli security minister who openly supports the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. In 2007, Ben-Gvir was convicted by an Israeli court of incitement to racism and supporting a terrorist organization. On Tuesday, about 200 student protesters erected a tent encampment on Yale’s campus but canceled plans to occupy the space overnight, citing threats of “retribution” from administrators. Ahead of his visit to New Haven, Ben-Gvir attended a private dinner in his honor at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate alongside Republican lawmakers.
