AP reported that British police said they had arrested 16 people on suspicion of illegally entering one of the university's private offices after pro-Palestinian students holed up in the office of the vice-president of Oxford University.
 
The Oxford student sit-in follows student protests at other universities in the US and around the world to protest the ongoing war in Gaza.
 
A video posted on social media by the Oxford Palestine Action Group showed an altercation between students and police.
 
Sitting on the street, the students did not allow the police car carrying the arrested to pass.
 

The crimes of the genocidal Zionist regime against the Palestinians have provoked a reaction from the world, and in all parts of the world, people, various governments and international institutions have called for support for the oppressed Palestinian people.

Supporters of the Palestinian people around the world have condemned the crimes of the Zionist occupation regime against the people of the Gaza Strip, holding demonstrations in recent months.

Since October 7, 2023, with the full support of the United States and Western countries, the genocidal Zionist regime began massacres in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank against the defenseless and oppressed people of Palestine.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, since the Israeli occupation regime began its attack on the Gaza Strip, at least 36,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been martyred and more than 80,000 injured.

The Deputy Prime Minister of Spain supported the aspirations of the Palestinian people.

According to the APnews agency, Yolanda Diaz, the Spanish Minister of Labor and Economy, said that Palestine will be liberated from the river to the sea, noting that the Spanish government has recognized the independent state of Palestine.
 
Earlier, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sancher, having confirmed the recognition of the independent State of Palestine, appealed to other European countries with a request to recognize the independent State of Palestine.

Spain, Norway and Ireland recognized the State of Palestine. Last Wednesday, in response to the decision of Spain, Norway and Ireland to recognize the State of Palestine, the Zionist regime ordered Tel Aviv's ambassadors to return to the occupied territories.

Palestine is currently an observer member of the United Nations and seeks full membership in the international body.

 Currently, Palestine is recognized by 143 countries.
