Minneapolis adopts nonbinding measure urging ceasefire in Israel-Hamas war
MINNEAPOLIS — A nonbinding resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war was passed by the Minneapolis City Council on Thursday.
Mayor Jacob Frey, who is Jewish, tried unsuccessfully to persuade council members to soften it, saying the wording tilted too heavily against Israel. The mayor, a Democrat, is now considering whether to veto it.
Minneapolis is the latest of dozens of US cities to pass calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors did so on January 9, and Mayor London Breed said last week that she would not veto it.
