Protests ignited by American students condemning Israel's ongoing aggression in the Palestinian Gaza Strip have rapidly spread worldwide, transcending borders and continents. From Australia to India, the fervor of the anti-Israel movement shows no signs of abating, with demonstrations gaining traction in various countries.

In response to the protests, which have garnered international attention and support, authorities have resorted to police raids and mass arrests at universities across the United States. Despite these efforts, the resolve of the students remains unwavering, with new demands driving them back into the streets.

US President Joe Biden's recent remarks on the protests, asserting the right to protest but condemning violence, have fueled further momentum for the movement. Critics, including former President Donald Trump, argue that the Biden administration's response has been ineffective, urging a crackdown on demonstrators.

Protesters voiced grievances against Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, accusing the government of failing to actively pursue peace in Gaza.
