Students at Trinity College Dublin and Lausanne University in Switzerland have staged occupations to protest against Israel‘s war in Gaza, joining a wave of demonstrations sweeping US campuses.

In Dublin, students built an encampment on Friday that forced the university to restrict campus access on Saturday and close the Book of Kells exhibition, one of Ireland’s top tourist attractions.
