Press release from the City of Eureka:

Item H.1, the Cease Fire Resolution scheduled for tomorrow’s Council meeting, has been pulled from the agenda and will not be discussed or acted upon at the December 5th Council meeting.

Mayor Kim Bergel stated, “As the Mayor of Eureka, I share the concern and grief over the military operations in Gaza. I also represent all residents of the City of Eureka and I am committed to working with everyone impacted by conflict in the Middle East. The Cease Fire Resolution proposed for adoption at tomorrow’s meeting would not have ended the violence in Gaza and Israel, but it would perpetuate more divisiveness and hatred in our community. I continue to hold all peoples affected by the violence both here and abroad in my thoughts and prayers. May we practice peace and respectful dialogue in all of our interactions each and every day.”
