A group of Philosophy students hold a debate at a fresh encampment on the University of Valencia campus as part of a protest against the war in the Palestinian territories of Gaza, on May 3, 2024, in Valencia. Dozens of universities in the United States, and in other countries, have also seen pro-Palestinian demonstrations in recent weeks, leading to clashes with police and counter-protests.
