The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a resolution calling for a total ceasefire in Gaza earlier this week during a chaotic City Hall meeting, but Mayor London Breed isn’t too happy about it. She released a statement denouncing the resolution on Friday, saying that the resolution is not the “official view of the entire city of San Francisco,” as the J. Supervisors Dean Preston, Aaron Peskin, Connie Chan, Joel Engardio, Myrna Melgar, Hillary Ronen, Shamann Walton and Ahsha Safaí voted in support. Many outside San Francisco do not draw the distinction between eight district supervisors and the official view of San Francisco. So let me be clear: what happened at the Board of Supervisors does not speak for or on behalf of the entire city.”Previously: SF Supervisors Approve Gaza Ceasefire Resolution, Mostly Pro-Palestine Audience Goes Bananas CelebratingFeature image via Unsplash/Corbin Bell.
