The New York City Council is considering a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza to promote peace and safety for all.

Inna Vernikov, a New York City Council member representing parts of southern Brooklyn, has gained national attention for her unapologetic, pro-Israel stance and her willingness to speak out against issues such as cannabis shops, subway unruliness, and pro-Palestinian protests.

Inna Vernikov, a Jewish New York City Council member, was arrested for carrying a gun near a pro-Palestinian rally at Brooklyn College.

Six New York City Council members did not vote in favor of a resolution to recognize April 29 as End Jew Hatred Day.
