Author Douglas Murray has criticized Chicago Council's decision to vote for Israel to enter into a ceasefire with Hamas, calling the council members “narcissists parading themselves” and pointing out Chicago's reputation for having “one of the highest gun crime rates in any developed country”. Murray urged the council to prioritize a local ceasefire. Amy Jacobson stated, “Instead of voting yesterday for a ceasefire in Gaza, they should have voted for a ceasefire on the streets of Chicago,” emphasizing the local crime issue. Similarly, former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. remarked, “Maybe Chicago city council and mayor think they’ll have better results in Gaza,” suggesting their efforts are misplaced. Satirical takes from The Babylon Bee and SNL also highlighted the perceived absurdity of the council's action.
