Proposal for U.S.-backed Ceasefire Plan to Be Presented at City-County Council Meeting

INDIANAPOLIS — On Monday night, local leaders are taking a stand to advocate for an end to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The Indianapolis City-County Council plans to introduce a proposal that supports a U.S.-backed ceasefire regarding the Israel-Hamas war.

“Nothing the city of Indianapolis passes tonight is going to stop bombs from falling, but this is at least one step to show that we are listening to our constituents,”

said Councilor Jesse Brown, who is sponsoring the proposal.

“We all want to see an end to the hostilities there, but it can’t come at the safety and expense of the safety and security of Israelis,”

stated David Sklar, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council.

This proposal coincides with another resolution aimed at promoting coexistence within the community and combating hate.

“It’s important for us to understand each other and talk about these things in a way that’s productive,”

Sklar added.

The City-County Council meeting is set to begin at 7 p.m. on Monday.
