The prospect of San Antonio City Council passing a ceasefire resolution in the Israel-Hamas conflict appears all but dead after two key council members this week said they have no interest in debating the matter.
On Wednesday, District 1 Councilwoman Sukh Kaur
she won’t sign a memo calling for debate on a ceasefire resolution, explaining that “there is no direct outcome necessitated by the resolution.”
That same day, District 8’s Manny Pelaez told the
Current
there would “never” be a ceasefire resolution.
Pelaez initially signed a memo calling for a special meeting to discuss such a measure, but he later pulled his support, effectively killing the debate. Pro-Palestinian activists had hoped to convince Kaur to replace Pelaez on the memo, proving the fourth signature needed to schedule the meeting.
However, Kaur’s comment suggests that option is now off the table.
