Pro Palestinian demonstrators protest the war in Gaza and demand college divestment from military weapons manufacturers on the Auraria Campus in Denver on April 25, 2024. Several hundred protestors gathered at Denver’s Auraria Higher Education Campus on Thursday, setting up an encampment and demanding the University of Colorado divest from activities and funding related to Israel.
“This is an issue between students and administrators and there’s no need to involve police,” organizer and Metropolitan State University of Denver student Paul Nelson said. “Nobody’s safety is in danger. It would be political repression, plain and simple.” “We’re not afraid of any repression that’s coming because we’re standing on the right side of history,” organizer Geral Mueller said.

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.
