• Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife, Batia, have resigned from Harvard University’s executive board. This decision came after the couple criticized the university’s leadership for not taking a stronger stance against a student letter that attributed the surprise attacks on the Jewish state to Israel.
• The student letter, signed by numerous student groups, placed blame on the Israeli government, declaring it “entirely responsible for all unfolding violence” in the wake of the attacks initiated by Hamas.
• The attacks involved thousands of rockets and the infiltration of terrorists into Israel during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, with approximately 2,900 casualties, including 27 United States citizens.
