U.S. Cities, Hawaii Vote for Ceasefire Resolutions as Washington Continues to Support Israel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the U.S., city councils in Boston and Tacoma, Washington,
adopted Gaza ceasefire resolutions this week, while the Bloomington,
Indiana, City Council overrode their mayor's veto of its ceasefire
resolution. In California, the Richmond City Council voted to divest
from Israel. Last week, Hawaii's House of Representatives passed a
ceasefire resolution, joining the Hawaiian Senate, which passed its own
resolution in March.
