Concern about the situation in Israel and the Palestinian Territories

Utrecht University follows the developments in Israel and the Palestinian Territories* with great concern. We are aware that the situation brings pain, concern and a sense of powerlessness to many, both within and outside our university community. From the Executive Board. As the Executive Board, we have received many responses and requests to express support for one of the two parties in this conflict. As a university, we share the great concerns about the situation. We hope that the spiral of violence and the human suffering, will end as soon as possible. As the Executive Board, we see it as our main task to assure the well-being of all our students and employees, in particular those located in the conflict area and/or those in the Netherlands, with (family) ties to Israel or the Palestinian Territories.
