Trinity College Dublin has reached an agreement with student protesters to divest from Israeli companies with activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The five-day protest led to the closure of the campus, resulting in an estimated loss of €350,000 in revenue. As part of the agreement, the university will complete divestment from these companies and aim to divest from other Israeli companies as well. Additionally, Trinity College Dublin will provide places for scholars from Gaza and establish a taskforce to review student exchanges with Israel.
