"Minneapolis City Council Overrides Mayor Frey's Veto, Declares Ceasefire Proclamation"

The Minneapolis City Council overrode Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of a resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, prompting chants of "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" from a crowd at the meeting place. The resolution also calls for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas and the release of Palestinians held in Israeli military prisons, drawing criticism from Jewish groups. Mayor Frey, while supporting a cease-fire, vetoed the resolution as "one-sided," emphasizing the need for inclusivity and unity. The override signals a shift in acceptable criticism of Israel, according to a leader of the American Muslims for Palestine’s Minnesota chapter.
