Graduates carrying Palestinian flags left the stadium as the comic was being introduced. Duke University’s commencement saw a minor disruption when students protesting the war in Gaza walked out before Jerry Seinfeld spoke.

Video from Sunday’s event in Durham, North Carolina, showed about 30 students in cap and gown get up and leave their graduation ceremony as Seinfeld was introduced by Duke President Vincent Price.

Chants of “Free, free Palestine” could be heard as students carried the state’s green, red and black flag out of the football stadium.

In footage shared on social media, the audience could be heard booing, though it was unclear if the shouts were directed at Seinfeld or the protestors, which appeared to be a sliver of the 7,000 graduates in attendance.

Also audible were chants and jeers of “Jerry,” a reaction which sounded split between support and mockery of the sitcom star.

Seinfeld, who also received an honorary doctorate degree from the school on Sunday, has been a staunch supporter of Israel amid its response to the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.

He’s posted on social media in solidarity with Israel several times since last fall’s incursion, and in December, the “Bee Movie” voice traveled to Tel Aviv to meet with the families of hostages captured by Hamas.

Multi-platinum global recording artist Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, has pledged another $2 million to the Gaza Strip from his XO Humanitarian Fund. The latest donation aims to supply 18 million loaves of bread to families trapped in the ongoing war.

According to Variety, The Weeknd’s contribution was made in tandem with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), which will provide 1,500 metric tonnes of fortified wheat flour to feed more than 157,000 Palestinians. 

In December last year, The Weeknd had pledged $2.5 million, equivalent to four million emergency meals, towards the Gaza Strip amid severe food shortages. The singer also made an urgent appeal to fans to provide personal donations amid the crisis overshadowing the region. According to WFP, more than 1 million Palestinians face catastrophic levels of hunger across Gaza and need urgent support.
