President Joe Biden broke his silence Thursday on pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses in recent weeks, saying "order must prevail" despite acknowledging students’ right to protest. “I think it’s interesting that a country that is helping to facilitate an illegal military occupation of Palestinian land is now calling out protesters for also occupying land on college campuses where they pay tuition,” Anyssa Dhaouadi of the Palestinian Youth Movement at George Washington University told FRANCE 24’s Fraser Jackson. “The irony is not lost on anyone,” Dhaouadi added.
