President Joe Biden has spoken out for the first time following violence and arrests during demonstrations at multiple US universities, saying: “There is a right to protest but not a right to cause chaos.”<\/p>\n

Tension at universities across America<\/a><\/strong> have been building for days as demonstrators have refused to remove encampments and administrators have called in law enforcement to break them up.<\/p>\n

There have been clashes between pro-Palestinian activists and counter-protesters, as well as between demonstrators and police.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the White House today, Mr Biden said “order must prevail”.<\/p>\n

He continued: “Dissent is essential for democracy. But dissent must never lead to disorder.”<\/p>\n

Biden has, at times, criticised Israel’s conduct but has continued to supply it with weapons.<\/p>\n

The president said the protests have not prompted him to rethink policies relating to the Middle-East.<\/p>\n

Overnight, police arrested pro-Palestinian protestors on multiple campuses, including at the University of California, Los Angeles (ULCA), where officers in riot gear fired rubber bullets at demonstrators<\/a> <\/strong>and tore down an encampment that had been in place for a week.<\/p>\n

Somewhere between 200 and 300 people were arrested at UCLA last night, two law enforcement sources have told Sky’s US partner NBC News.<\/p>\n

Specific information on those arrested – such as whether they are students, staff or not affiliated with the university – may not be known for days.<\/p>\n
