Times of Israel – Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein has decided that there is no legal obstacle to an agreement whereby the Foreign Ministry will be reserved for Avigdor Liberman, who had to step down as top diplomat late last year to fight fraud charges, Weinstein’s assistant said Wednesday.

Hey Asmaa! I’m a journalist from the Algemeiner, my editor has asked me to cover the recent incident with the PSC and the “eviction notices”. I think it’s really important to get all sides of the story, and make sure everyone has a chance to discuss their narrative, so I’d like to get the PSC’s perspective behind this.

I have a few questions:

What motivated you to choose pseudo-eviction notices as your method of protest?
Were you worried or are you worried about possible legal repercussions?
How did you decide which doors to place eviction notices on? Did you
seek out Israeli students? Did you do it randomly?
What has the response, if any, been from Harvard University?

If there’s anything else you want to say that you want journalists to
know, just let me know.
