Students at Stanford University have joined the national wave of protests on the war in Gaza on college campuses.
Hundreds of students set up an encampment on White Plaza Thursday night with tents and signs that read 'Divest now' and 'Hands off Rafah,' with some students remaining there overnight. Protest ers said they plan to stay until the university meets their demands. Stanford sent out a mass email to its student body informing them the actions were in violation of university policy that could lead suspension or expulsion.
'Say I were to get arrested, or say I were to be expelled or suspended from this school; that would deeply impact me and my family. 'Cause I, like, support them with the money that I get from here,' said Ramirez. 'And, understanding that, I weighed the personal consequences and my own personal beliefs and felt so compelled to do what I can to be out here.'Meanwhile students at UC Berkeley entered day four of their encampment in front of Sproul Hall.

Trade Volume Between Türkiye and Israel Declines SignificantlyThe trade volume between Türkiye and Israel has declined significantly since Israel's invasion of Gaza began last year, data from the Turkish Trade Ministry suggests. From October 7 to March 20 this year, the total Türkiye-Israel trade volume fell by nearly 33 percent, according to information compiled by the Figures sourced from the Trade Ministry and compiled by Anadolu reveal a substantial 33 percent decrease in Türkiye's trade interaction with Israel from October 7, 2023, to March 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Türkiye's exports to Israel fell 30 percent, while its imports decreased by 43.4 percent. Turkish nationals and companies have been gradually cancelling sales and orders with Israel, while trade is mostly with private firms, including some international ones, rather than state enterprises. Goods sent from Türkiye to Palestine pass through Israel and its customs gates due to Palestine's lack of its own customs facilities. Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel." In addition, Israel does not recognise legal relations between Palestine and third countries, while it refuses to allow commercial transactions through the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt. As a result, trade between third countries and Palestine is logged overwhelmingly as trade with Israel in data reflected in national statistics.
