Protesters at New York University have occupied the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, renaming it the 'Diana Tamari Sabbagh Library Liberated Zone' in response to NYU's alleged support for Israel and its role in the escalation of the genocide in Gaza. The students are demanding the university divest from Israeli institutions and close its Tel Aviv campus. The occupation, marked by the hanging of a banner with the new name and a growing picket outside, has drawn attention from university security and NYPD, who are now present at the site. The protesters have expressed a commitment to block any perceived support for Israel by NYU.
