In light of the ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people, and with the continued support of some academic institutions for the Zionist entity, the "Gulf Coalition Against Normalization" has launched a campaign to boycott British universities involved in supporting the occupation.

The coalition stated in a statement: "We have informed more than thirty Gulf companies operating in the field of overseas education about the necessity of refraining from promoting British universities listed in the Gulf boycott for their complicity in the genocide in Gaza, and committing to not directing students to them, whether through university fairs, coordination offices, school visits, or through social media networks."

The coalition added that "the campaign to boycott British universities aims to pressure those that work closely with arms suppliers to the occupation army."

It pointed out that the campaign also seeks to "punish the administrations of universities for their extreme positions in supporting the occupying entity by hosting companies that manufacture weapons owned by the entity and groups of 'Friends of Israel' on campus, simultaneously with the genocide, while the universities themselves suppress anti-genocide student activities and continue to refuse to acknowledge the genocide until now."

The statement clarified that "the coalition recently announced a list of targeted universities, which includes the University of Manchester, the University of Leeds, the University of Liverpool, the University of Nottingham, the University of Portsmouth, Queen Mary University of London, Newcastle University, Northumbria University, Manchester Metropolitan University, and Coventry University."

The statement continued that "all of the aforementioned universities have been warned by the International Center for Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), which issued a warning regarding the criminal responsibility for any investments in genocide and occupation."

It also noted that "due to the current financial crises that British universities are suffering from because of the decline in the number of international students, on whom the university primarily relies for funding its activities, Gulf students intending to study abroad can hold these universities accountable, thereby causing losses that would transform military activities benefiting from genocide, which are abundant at British universities, into a burden that must be eliminated."

Then, it said: "What is required to achieve this is a collective commitment not to join the ten listed universities for students planning to study abroad," pointing out that "one of the key aspects of this process lies in stopping overseas study coordination companies from directing students to enroll in these universities."

The coalition called on all Gulf citizens to intensify pressure on overseas education companies through correspondence, calls, and comments on social media networks, starting now until the end of January, considering that this period is the most significant for British universities and their partners to attract international students, and thus it holds the most influence for the campaign.

The coalition urged participation in spreading the campaign among Gulf students planning to study abroad and collecting pledges to boycott these universities, which will subsequently assess the financial losses to the universities as a result of American Gulf students' refusal to enroll in universities that support genocide.
