Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge fund manager and founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, has asked Harvard University to reveal the names of students which signed a statement holding Israel "entirely responsible" for the deadly conflict in the country.

Ackman put pressure on Harvard University in a post on X, saying he—and other high-profile CEOs—wanted to see the names so that "none of us inadvertently hire any of their members."
