US District Judge Mitchell Goldberg ruled Monday in a case by students who sued two months after Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, claiming the Philadelphia school fostered a hostile environment that left them feeling unsafe in class or crossing the campus. One of the students, Eyal Yakoby, appeared at a press conference with House Republican leaders.
