City Council sets special meeting for Friday on Israel solidarity resolution – Chicago Sun-Times

The measure was introduced by Ald. Debra Silverstein and challenged by Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez, writing: “Any resolution that speaks on this matter should, in my opinion, also center the humanity of Palestinians who are confined to an open-air prison and whose lands have been occupied for decades.” Mayor Brandon Johnson said, “I’m going to oversee a meeting that allows for the type of robust conversation to take place so that everybody is very clear about how we must center humanity in this moment.”
