Councilman Manny Pelaez pulls plug on San Antonio's Israel-Hamas ceasefire vote

San Antonio City Council’s plan to vote on a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict are on hold after District 8 Councilman Manny Pelaez got cold feet. Pelaez in December joined District 2's Jalen McKee Rodriguez and District 5’s Teri Castillo in signing a memo that called for a special meeting to discuss passing a ceasefire resolution. The memo came following months of protests at City Hall and in Mayor Ron Nirenberg’s neighborhood, and a vote was scheduled for Jan. 11.
