Watan<\/strong><\/em>-On Wednesday, former U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Harvard University, demanding that the Ivy League school limit its intake of foreign students to no more than 15% of the student body. He also called on Harvard to submit a current list of all international students to the federal government.<\/p>\n

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump stated:\u201cHarvard needs to behave better. It treats our country with great disrespect, and all they do is show more defiance.\u201d<\/p>\n

This statement comes amid widening tensions over the Gaza war, where elite universities like Harvard have come under fire for their perceived lack of clarity\u2014or neutrality\u2014on Israel\u2019s military actions and human rights violations in Gaza. Student protests and faculty divisions have plagued campuses across the U.S., particularly at institutions with significant international representation.<\/p>\n
