San Antonio City Council meeting shut down by protests over scrapped Israel-Hamas ceasefire vote
San Antonio City Council's Thursday morning meeting descended into chaos after pro-Palestine protesters unleashed loud chants in the chamber, according to social media reports from the Texas Public Radio's Joey Palacios and San Antonio Report's Andrea Drusch. District 1 Councilwoman Sukh Kaur, who has publicly vocalized support for the Palestinian cause on social media, invited Rabbi Mara Nathan of Temple Beth-El and Waheeda Kara of Muslim house of worship Ismaili Jamantkartha to offer invocations before Thursday's meeting, Drusch posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. However, the invocations were swiftly followed by an "eruption of protests from pro-Palestine protesters," Drusch reported.
