Hawaii House And Senate Pass Resolution Calling For Cease-Fire In Gaza
HuffPost
The Hawaii lawmakers are the first to pass a cease-fire resolution.
Hawaii’s House of Representatives joined the state’s Senate in calling for a cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, becoming the first state to pass such a resolution, according to Hawaii News Now.
The Senate passed the cease-fire resolution with a 24–1 vote in March, and the House passed it on a 48–3 vote Friday. Though the lawmakers are the first to pass a cease-fire resolution, the state legislature’s Public Access Room told HuffPost that it “does not have the force and effect of law” and does not need a signature from the governor.
According to the resolution, the lawmakers are pushing for the Biden administration to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire.
In addition, the Hawaii lawmakers are demanding that the administration “facilitate the de-escalation of hostilities to end the current violence, promptly send and facilitate the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza, including fuel, food, water, and medical supplies, and begin negotiations for lasting peace.”
President Joe Biden has previously called for a cease-fire in Gaza, but there does not seem to be a contingency plan should negotiations seeking a cease-fire fail, according to The Washington Post.
