The Senate of the University of Barcelona passed a motion in support of Palestine, calling for the severance of all institutional and academic ties with Israel until the genocide in Gaza ceases.

The motion, approved with 59 votes in favor, 23 against, and 37 abstentions, was met with celebration by protesting students.

“This is a big step forward in our fight in solidarity with the Palestinian people at universities,” Student council member Pablo Castilla told the Catalan News Agency.
