ORLANDO, Fla. — Despite a possible cease-fire agreement between Isreal and Hamas, a small group of pro-Palestinian protesters have set up an encampment at the University of Central Florida‘s campus.

The protesters have set up several tents at the corner of University and Alafaya Trail roads.

This comes after a number of protesters gathered during graduations at UCF over the weekend.

The pro-Palestinian demonstrators are denouncing President Joe Biden and demanding the university divest from Israel.

These are similar chants that have been heard at major universities across the country.

“We are here to bring attention to the ground invasion to Gaza,” said UCF student Nova Patterson.

Patterson, who says she is in her third year at the college, wants companies such as Lockheed Martin to divest their funds from certain countries, like Israel.

“So, when we say divest, we demand that they disclose and divest from all defense companies affecting Palestine, Congo, Sedan, Haiti, and other oppressed people from around the world,” said Patterson.

Members of the group say they want the school to be more transparent and show what investments and money they have given to Israel. 

“Ending internships and partnerships, disclosing all information that is not publicly available to the student body or anyone,” Patterson said.

Among the group of demonstrators, none but Patterson would reveal their identity, and only one was willing to chant with his face uncovered.  

A police presence was set up right across the street from the protesters.

The UCF administration did not return a request for comment.

When asked about a possible cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, Patterson says her group is not going anywhere.

“As long as UCF continues to not divest and not disclose and meet our demands, we will be out here,” she said.

The protesters told Spectrum News that about 75% of their group currently attends the university.
