Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer has quit his role on the executive board of Harvard’s Kennedy School in the escalating row over a letter published by students holding Israel “entirely responsible” for the attacks by Hamas terrorists this week.
Shipping and chemicals mogul Idan Ofer and his wife, Batia, announced on Thursday that they were quitting their roles at Harvard “in protest of the shocking and insensitive response by the president of the university, who did not condemn the letter by student organizations who blamed Israel for the massacres”.
