Taskforce to explore engagement with institutions in Israel to be set up following student protests

“blacklist” while a taskforce to explore engagement with Israeli institutions is to be set up following a fourth day of student protests on the campus.

Soon after the encampment was erected on Friday, the university restricted access to students and staff with valid college ID cards only to ensure student safety, while the Book of Kells exhibition, libraries and the sports centre have been closed until further notice.This couple lived on Great Blasket with no electricity or running water.

Students have been calling for the university to cut all ties with Israel, including investments in the other 10 Israeli companies. They have also called on TCD to make “an unequivocal statement of solidarity condemning the ongoing genocide, destruction of infrastructure, settler-colonialism, apartheid and occupation of Palestine”.

Alongside a pledge to divest from investing in some companies, the university said it has identified eight places for Gazan scholars to study at TCD.
