Anti-Israel students continue protests after Rome clashes

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 17 - Student groups protesting against Italian universities' cooperation with Israeli institutions amid the war in Gaza are continuing their demonstrations on Wednesday after violent clashes broke out with police at Rome's La Sapienza University on Tuesday.
    The students are staging a sit-in outside Rome's main courthouse after two young people were arrested in the clashes, which drew the ire of Premier Giorgia Meloni.
    The protesters initially sought to break into a meeting at the university's academic senate, then there were clashes when they tried to break through a cordon of police in riot gear at an exit and there was also trouble at a police station.
    "Devastation, attacks, assaults on a Rectorate and on a police station, with a police director getting punched. This is not demonstrating, it's delinquency,' Meloni's said. (ANSA).
