Jewish group welcomes local English council backing of Gaza ceasefire and friendship links

LONDON: A Jewish advocacy group has praised an English local council’s recognition of “friendship links” with the Gazan town of Al-Mawasi as “an important act of solidarity” after councilors passed a motion backing an immediate ceasefire in the region, it was reported on Friday. Last week, Hastings Borough Council voted to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, an end to arms sales to Israel and continued support for its civic ties with Al-Mawasi, an area in southern Gaza that was declared a safe zone by the Israeli military in December 2023, but has since faced repeated attacks.
