St. Paul City Council passes Gaza ceasefire resolution

The big picture: A growing list of U.S. cities — including Minneapolis — have passed similar resolutions.

• On Tuesday, the "uncommitted" movement racked up nearly 19% of the vote in Minnesota's Democratic presidential primary — enough to secure delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

Flashback: The St. Paul Council vote is an abrupt shift. Last week, a pro-ceasefire crowd in council chambers left disappointed when the body adjourned its meeting without adding a resolution to the agenda.

• At the time, Council President Mitra Jalali, who personally supported the "uncommitted" campaign, said the measure hadn't been formally proposed and didn't have the votes to pass.

What they're saying: Council Member Cheniqua Johnson, who brought the resolution forward, said she introduced it in hopes of not letting "divisiveness foster."

• Jalali apologized for protestors' frustration with the process, noting that it's a sharp departure for the council to take up matters on foreign policy.
