San Francisco Mayor London Breed will not sign a Gaza ceasefire resolution passed by its board of supervisors this month, she announced Jan. 19.

The resolution, passed Jan. 9, called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, in response to Israel’s counterattack on the terrorist group Hamas following its Oct. 7 invasion of Israel.
