Sky News host Sharri Markson has revealed the University of Sydney locked pro-Palestinian activists inside a room with senior Israeli university officials for an hour and a half last week.
Ms Markson said Tel Aviv University representatives flew from Israel to attend the University of Sydney's “Abroad Fair” to promote their university exchange program.
“The Israeli academics were there alongside university representatives from Germany, Canada, the US and Taiwan,” she said.
She said pro-Palestinian activists stormed the room, trying to get Tel Aviv University kicked off campus.
“The Israeli delegates didn't think they should have to succumb to the demands of the protesters and leave, seeing as they had flown from Israel for this.
“Shockingly – instead of removing the pro-Palestinian activists, Sydney University had security lock the doors – locking the activists inside the same room as the Israeli delegates.”
