Another pro-Palestine encampment was cleared by Police, resulting in the arrest of 33 protestors.

Hundreds of police stormed the grounds at Washington’s George Washington University early this morning, using pepper spray to clear the encampment.

This came just hours before city officials were due to appear before Congress to justify their actions, or lack thereof, regarding the protest.

US Correspondent Katherine Firkin told Mike Hosking that at least 50 campuses are now involved in the protests.
