Minneapolis City Council Overrides Mayor's Veto on Gaza Cease-Fire Resolution

The resolution calls for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, an end to U.S. military funding to Israel, and the release of hostages and prisoners.

The Minneapolis City Council voted to override Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of a resolution advocating for a cease-fire in Gaza and an end to U.S. military funding to Israel.
Mayor Frey expressed concerns about the resolution's language being 'one-sided' and the potential rise in antisemitism.
The resolution also demands the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas and thousands of Palestinians detained without trial.
Minneapolis joins other U.S. cities like Chicago and San Francisco in passing similar non-binding resolutions.
The Palestinian death toll from the ongoing conflict has surpassed 27,000, with a quarter of Gaza's residents facing starvation.
