A year into the Gaza ceasefire, the results are as underwhelming as expected: aid remains restricted, people remain displaced, Hamas is armed and in charge, Israel occupies even more land, and Trump’s peacekeeping force is nowhere to be seen. Joseph Krauss, @apnews.com: apnews.com/article/isra...

A US-brokered ceasefire was supposed to end the war in Gaza. A year later, progress has stalled
Israel and Hamas agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal a year ago, raising hopes of ending the war in Gaza.

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.
