George Washington University reiterated Sunday that anti-Israel protesters on campus are violating the university's rules of conduct and behavior and emphasized that 'the hateful language being displayed has no place on our campus.' President Ellen Granberg and Provost Chris Bracey said the university remains committed to protecting the right to activism and free expression of diverse viewpoints, but that those things 'are not unlimited.
Anniversary Park, which is located in a more residential area and is smaller than University Yard, remains an alternate location urged by the university and demonstrators would be allowed to stay there until 7 p.m. each day. The university said it is aware of about 20 tents pitched on H Street and 20 demonstrators remaining in the University Yard encampment.

'As we approach the end of the academic year, our ability to operate in a way that ensures the academic success and personal well-being of our community becomes even more critical.

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.
