A pro-Israel Solidarity Rally was held Sunday at UC San Diego, next to the student encampment supporting Palestinians in Gaza.
Pro-Israel counter-protesters wear and wave Israeli flags near the UC San Diego pro-Palestinian encampment, May 5, 2024.
It happened shortly after UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla issued a statement to staff and students saying the encampment poses serious safety and security hazards. The protest has included several scheduled"teach-in" sessions to educate participants and passersby on the war and historical context of the Middle East conflict.
She encouraged students to continue direct conversations that can not be monitored through technology.

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.
