Over 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside of the 116th and Broadway gates on Tuesday to protest an appearance from former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

Columbia/Barnard Hillel, the School of International and Public Affairs’ Institute of Global Politics, and the Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life co-hosted Bennett for an event, which was moderated by SIPA Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo.

Spokespeople from the Kraft Center and SIPA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Columbia chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace and Columbia Palestine Solidarity Coalition co-organized the protest. The two organizations, along with Columbia University Apartheid Divest, promoted the protest in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, displaying the invitation email for the event.
