Israel has completely shut down a Palestinian university in Jerusalem amid a series of assaults on academic freedom. On 14 July, Israeli police raided and shut down the Hind al-Husseini college in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, prohibited an academic conference from taking place and detained 15 participants of the conference. Police acted on the order of Gilad Erdan, Israel’s minister of public security and strategic affairs, who claimedthat the conference promoted “incitement” against the Israeli state.
