Khymani James, a Columbia University student who had emerged as one of the leaders of the anti-Israel protests on campus, is on 'interim suspension.'

James, 20, was placed under suspension,, citing a notification the student received from the school that was shared with the outlet. During this interim suspension, the school will decide if he will be allowed to return to class, or officially expelled. He was previously banned from campus on Friday after video of him redoubling his comment that “Zionists don’t deserve to live” resurfaced.

During the hearing, James redoubled his comments when administrators pressed him on if he felt regret over what he said. He told officials that “in certain case scenarios,” taking someone’s life is “better for the overall world.” “I also want people to have more context for my words, which I regret,” James said. “Far right agitators went through months of my social media feed until they found a clip that they edited without context.”
