Jerry Seinfeld faced protests by about 30 students during his commencement speech at Duke University over his support for Israel.

The protests are part of a wider movement at U.S. universities where students demand their schools sever ties with Israel.

Seinfeld avoided discussing politics in his speech, focusing instead on the value of humor.

Despite the protests, Seinfeld was awarded an honorary doctorate from Duke University.

The Duke protests are indicative of broader tensions related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Israeli Prime Minister is pushing for an aggressive military strategy in Rafah against Hamas, amidst civilian evacuations and IDF cautions.
