The city of Richmond voted to support the Palestinian people in Gaza with a controversial resolution after a marathon City Council meeting.
The Richmond, Calif., City Council voted in the early hours of Wednesday morning to support the Palestinian people of Gaza with a resolution that accuses Israel of 'ethnic cleansing and collective punishment' nearly three weeks after war broke out in the Middle East. The resolution is believed to be the first show of support by a U.S. city for Palestine after the Oct. 7 attack carried out by Hamas on Israel.
' Councilmember Cesar Zepeda cast the lone vote not to support the resolution, recognizing the issue as divisive. 'Let's call out the atrocities that Hamas has done on the Israel communities and the atrocities the Israeli government has done on the Palestinian people,' Zepeda said, requesting a revised resolution. He said he wanted the city to 'bring everyone together in a community for peace.
