Palestinian Universities Under Attack – Write to Your MP Today
On 7 January 2026, Birzeit University issued a statement confirming that Israeli military forces raided the campus in broad daylight, breaking down the main gate, firing live ammunition, tear gas, and stun grenades, and targeting students attending lectures. Several students were injured by gunfire.
This marks a serious escalation in attacks on Palestinian education, and immediate action is necessary to protect the future of higher education in Palestine and end this pattern of assault endured by the Palestinian people in their pursuit of education and their fundamental right to self-determination.
Write to your MP today and urge the UK government to condemn the raid, uphold international law, ensure accountability, and support the rebuilding of Palestinian universities.
Together we must protect the future of higher education in Palestine and end this pattern of assault endured by the Palestinian people in their pursuit of education and their fundamental right to self-determination.
