At the University of Amsterdam, images on public broadcaster NOS showed police baton-charging protesters and smashing up tents at around 0200 GMT on Tuesday, after they refused to leave the campus. The protesters, some of whom wore the keffiyeh scarf that has long been a symbol of the Palestinian cause, sat in front of tents and waved banners.
Police moved in to allow other students to take their exams and made two arrests, according to Paris prosecutors. The university said the exams were able to proceed without incident. In Amsterdam, violence briefly erupted on Monday evening when a small group of counter-protesters wielding flares stormed the main protest.
The war in Gaza was sparked by an unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.
