Hours earlier, police carrying riot shields burst into a building at Columbia University that pro-Palestinian protesters took over and broke up a demonstration that had paralyzed the school. After a couple of hours of scuffles between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators at UCLA early Wednesday, police wearing helmets and face shields formed lines and slowly separated the groups. Police have swept through campuses across the U.S. over the last two weeks in response to protests calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies that support the war in Gaza.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is meeting with Israeli leaders in his push for a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas, saying “the time is now" for an agreement that would free hostages and bring a pause in the nearly seven months of war.

Blinken on Wednesday also told families of hostages held in Gaza that Hamas needs to say yes to the deal.
