Long Beach City Council formally calls for ceasefire in Gaza
After hearing from scores of residents at a sometimes raucous, hours-long meeting, Long Beach City Council members on Tuesday officially signed off on a statement in support of a “lasting humanitarian ceasefire” to bring an end to the war in Gaza.
The council’s decision followed weeks of pressure from pro-Palestine protesters, who demanded that city leaders pass a ceasefire resolution as a handful of other communities around the state — including Oakland and Stanton — have done.
