Pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked US campuses for weeks were more muted Friday after a series of clashes with police, mass arrests and a stern White House directive to restore order. Police in Manhattan cleared an encampment at New York University after sunrise, with video posted to social media by an official showing protesters exiting their tents and dispersing when ordered by loudspeaker. The scene appeared relatively calm compared to crackdowns at other campuses around the country -- and some worldwide -- where protests over Israel's war in Gaza have multiplied in recent weeks. University administrators, who have tried to balance the right to protest and complaints of violence and hate speech, have increasingly called on police to clear out the protesters ahead of year-end exams and graduation ceremonies -- and some clashes with counter-protesters. More than 2,000 arrests have been made in the past two weeks across the United States, some during violent confrontations with police, giving rise to accusations of over-use of force. President Joe Biden, who has faced pressure from all political sides over the Israel-Hamas war, gave his first expansive remarks on the protests Thursday, saying that «order must prevail.» «We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent,» Biden said in a televised statement from the White House. «But neither are we a lawless country. We're a civil society, and order must prevail.» His remarks came hours after police moved in on demonstrators at University of California, Los Angeles, which had seen a violent confrontation when counter-protesters attacked a fortified encampment there. A large police contingent forcibly cleared the sprawling encampment early Thursday while flashbangs were launched to disperse crowds gathered outside. Schools officials said that over 200 people were arrested. On the opposite US coast Thursday, protesters at New Jersey's Rutgers University agreed to take down their camp after reaching a compromise with administrators, like a similar deal at other institutions, including Brown University. - Worldwide - Republicans have accused Biden of being soft on what they say is anti-Semitic sentiment among the protesters, while he faces opposition in his own party for his strong support for Israel's war on Gaza. «There should be no place on any campus, no place in America for anti-Semitism, or threats of violence against Jewish students,» Biden said. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona echoed the condemnation in a letter to university leaders on Friday and pledging to investigate reports of anti-Semitism «aggressively,» CNN reported. Meanwhile, similar student protests have popped up in countries around the world, including in Australia, France, Mexico and Canada. In Paris, police moved in to clear students staging a sit-in at the Sciences Po university. An encampment has grown at Canada's prestigious McGill University, where administrators on Wednesday demanded it be taken down «without delay.» However, police had yet to take action against the site as of Friday morning. The Gaza war started when Hamas militants staged an unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7 that left more than 1,170 people dead, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. Israel estimates that 128 hostages remain in Gaza. The Israeli military says 35 of them are dead. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed more than 34,600 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. © Agence France-Presse

International Criminal Court prosecutors warned on Friday against «individuals who threaten to retaliate» against the tribunal or its staff, saying such actions might constitute an «offence against its administration of justice». The ICC did not say if the comment related to its investigation into possible war crimes by Israel or Palestinian groups in Gaza and the West Bank. US media reports have suggested that the ICC's Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) could issue warrants against both Israeli politicians and Hamas leaders. Israeli officials have said in recent days that any attempt by the court to take any action against Israel would be «outrageous». On Friday, the Hague-based office of ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan said on X, former Twitter, that it sought to «engage constructively with all stakeholders whenever dialogue is consistent with its mandate». «That independence and impartiality are undermined, however, when individuals threaten to retaliate against the court or against court personnel», it added. «Such threats, even not acted upon, may constitute an offence» against the ICC's «administration of justice», it warned, calling for an end to such activity. Khan's office declined to say where the threats had come from and which investigation was concerned, when questioned by AFP. - 'Blatant disregard' - But one legal expert said it was likely related to the «ongoing investigation in Palestine» given recent Israeli government statements about «threats to the Palestinian Authority in response to the potential issuance of arrest warrants». Israel's reported retaliatory steps were aimed at the Palestinian authorities, «not at the ICC or the OTP», said Gabriele Chlevickaite, a researcher at the Hague-based Asser Institute for international law. However, «some statements by Israeli officials could be interpreted as threatening the OTP officials indirectly and, or, interfering with the investigation,» she told AFP. This would not only be an offence under the court's founding Rome Statute «but a blatant disregard of the rule of law,» Chlevickaite added. The ICC opened a probe in 2021 into Israel, as well as Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups, over possible war crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories. Khan has said this investigation now «extends to the escalation of hostilities and violence since the (Hamas) attacks that took place on October 7, 2023». - 'Outrageous' - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on X on Wednesday that the ICC was «contemplating issuing arrest warrants against senior Israeli government and military officials as war criminals». «This would be an outrage of historic proportions,» he said, alleging that the ICC was «trying to put Israel in the dock». The United States said on Monday it also opposed the ICC's probe into Israel's conduct in Gaza. The ICC is the world's only independent court set up to probe the gravest offences by individual suspects, including genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. It has previously issued warrants for national leaders -- most recently Russian President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine. The war in Gaza started after Hamas's October 7 attack on southern Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. Israel's relentless retaliatory offensive has killed at least 34,568 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in the besieged Hamas-run enclave. © Agence France-Presse
