At George Washington University in Washington D.C., a series of events unfolded involving student protesters and campus police over the display of national flags. Initially, student protesters raised a massive Palestinian flag in front of a campus building, leading to a confrontation where campus police attempted to intervene but ultimately retreated. The protesters' actions were part of an ongoing action demanding the university to divest from investments related to the Israeli occupation, linked to the ongoing situation in Gaza. Subsequently, in a show of counter-protest, several individuals, including university staff, responded by displaying a large American flag at the same location, overshadowing the Palestinian flag display.
