Universities join Monday’s strike over Gaza hostages

Gavriel Fiske is a reporter at The Times of Israel

Israeli universities will “join the economic shutdown” in an effort to promote a deal to release the hostages held in Gaza, and will be closed on Monday, the Association of University Heads says in a statement.

Some exams will still be held as scheduled, depending on the university, the notice says.

“The university heads repeat their call to the government of Israel to make freeing the hostages the top national mission,” the notice says.
