Agenda Item 5
I urge the city council NOT to adopt a resolution in support of a Gaza ceasefire because:
* Any resolution amounts to picking sides and will create further division
* The resolution does not directly affect the city or its governance
* The council has no foreign relations expertise
* The number of foreign causes are endless
* Other cities such as San Jose Council Policy 0-11 already forbid such resolutions
* The US has repeatedly rejected such a resolution at the UN
