RESOLUTIONS:
A Resolution in Support of Peace and an End to the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza Mayor Manalo acknowledged Vice Mayor Daus-Magbual and Councilmember Proaño for their work on the ad hoc committee to work on drafting the proposed resolution. City Attorney Rose Zimmerman provided information on the creation of the ad hoc Council committee whose task included reviewing numerous resolutions from local agencies to formulate a draft resolution, and noted that an updated resolution was provided to the Council for their review.
Vice Mayor Daus-Magbual and Councilmember Proaño reported on their ad hoc committee meetings, reported on meeting with various members and groups of the community to try and address the crisis together, while recognizing that the draft resolution is not perfect and the unlikelihood of it pleasing everyone. Councilmember Proaño/ read aloud the drafted resolution. The Council discussed and deliberated the language of the draft resolution. Mayor Manalo provided direction for public comment to have a one-minute time limit for each speaker.
The following speakers urged the Council to listen to their community and pass the bilateral ceasefire resolution without further delay and without amendments, noting how the community has been attending the meetings resolutely for the past 3 months to ensure the item passes. Individuals spoke about the genocide happening in Gaza for the last 7 months and endorsed the resolution as a symbolic stance for humanity, a call for peace preventing further loss of life, and a show of solidarity for the people of Gaza as well as Daly City's Palestinian residents. People advocating for the ceasefire resolution spoke about the rauma and suffering caused by the conflict, the staggering number of civilian lives lost, mass starvatio n Gaza, and the urgent need for humanitarian aid in the area. Individuals denounced the recent bombing of declared safe zones in Gaza, the increase of anti-Arab hate and xenophobia in the US, and the amount of US funding going to Israel. Speakers urged the Council to follow suit in the action taken by neighboring cities that have passed ceasefire resolutions such as Oakland, San Francisco, Richmond and Pacifica.

The following speakers were opposed to passing the resolution and urged the Council not to get involved in international matters which are outside of their purview, and instead, to focus their time and effort on local issues. Individuals were opposed to a ceasefire resolution, calling it one-sided and bigoted, citing the increase of antisemitism and fears for safety amongst members of the Jewish community, and pointing out that Israel is merely defending itself against a terrorist group. Some speakers stated the resolution would only cause division, while others potentially voiced support for a resolution that condemns and eliminates Hamas, calls for release of hostages, or one drafted with members of the Jewish community to represent both communities. Others denied the occurrence of a genocide in Gaza.
