Rome (Quds News Network)- The University of Pisa has cut ties with Israel's Reichman University and Hebrew University over ties to the Israeli military and public support for the genocide in Gaza. Following a vote by the Academic Senate to sever ties with Reichman University and Hebrew University, Rector Riccardo Zucchi issued a statement: "What the Israeli government is doing in Gaza is inhumane… We will terminate all cooperation,” according to Open, an Italian online newspaper. “Both universities maintain structural ties with the Israeli military, have publicly expressed support for the government's actions, and in one case, are located in areas of the West Bank considered illegal by the United Nations.” Reichman University, Israel’s only private university, has long been the target of student protests due to its declared support for Gaza assault, including the offering of scholarships reserved for members of the Israeli military. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has been repeatedly criticized for developing programs linked to military technologies. In a motion, the Academic Senate also called on the Board of Directors to suspend relations with the two Israeli universities, “to reaffirm the condemnation of the ongoing ethnic cleansing in Gaza against the Palestinian population.” Across Europe, pressure on Israel is growing. Mass protests and political calls to take action against the ongoing genocide have emerged from the UK to France.
