WARWICK UNIVERSITY leaders are to negotiate on demands that it withdraw investments and co-operation from arms firms supplying Israel after a sustained campaign by staff and students.

University authorities are to meet the Warwick Stands With Palestine (WSWP) coalition of more than 70 staff and student organisations which oppose Israel’s genocide in Palestine.

The agreement to talk followed 13 days in which Palestine supporters occupied the Warwick Manufacturing Group’s (WMG) international digital laboratory on the campus.
