SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Supervisors in San Francisco have approved a resolution calling for an extended cease-fire in Gaza that condemns Hamas as well as the Israeli government. Tuesday’s vote was 8-3 and reflected divides even in politically liberal San Francisco. San Francisco on Tuesday joined dozens of other U.S. cities in approving a resolution that has no legal authority but reflects pressure on local governments to speak up about the Israel-Hamas war. Supervisors who voted against the resolution said it did not go far enough in condemning Hamas. The comments drew boos from cease-fire supporters in the audience. They cheered when the board approved the resolution.
