The San Francisco Board of Supervisors, led by Supervisor Dean Preston, introduced a resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza, with support from healthcare workers, high schoolers, and pro-Palestinian supporters. The resolution was also introduced in other Bay Area cities, and a march was organized inside the halls of the US Congress. Berkeley Rent Board called for a Gaza cease-fire and reduced rent for political refugees. Despite ongoing protests, including a disruptive one at the Berkeley City Council meeting, Berkeley council members still rejected the Gaza cease-fire resolution. Emotional speeches were given in support of the resolution. Amid the political unrest, Hanukkah celebrations are underway with the oldest public menorah outside of Israel being lit in San Francisco's Union Square, and a Hanukkah-themed pop-up bar lighting up hearts for the holidays. Faith leaders are planning a symbolic walk across the Golden Gate Bridge to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. World leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have extended their Hanukkah greetings.
