Numerous pro-Palestinian activists descended on Peoria City Hall on February 13th, 2024 calling on the City Council to pass a resolution supporting a ceasefire to the Israeli War on Gaza. The resolution calls on both Israel and Hamas to cease hostilities and for both to release all hostages they have.
Several Zionists were also present and opposed the Ceasefire resolution stating it is not a local government’s business to issue such declarations and that a ceasefire could increase incidents of anti-Semitism.
