In a series of local government actions across the United States, city councils in Tucson and Yonkers have made significant moves regarding resolutions on the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Tucson City Council was initially set to vote on a ceasefire resolution, which has caused division among its residents. However, they later backed off from proceeding with the vote. Similarly, in New York, both the Yonkers City Council and the NY Council addressed ceasefire resolutions, which faced opposition from both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups. The Yonkers City Council eventually decided to table their resolution, while the NY Council managed to create a motion for a ceasefire that was also met with opposition from supporters of both sides.
