A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING ITS
SUPPORT FOR THE STATE OF ISRAEL
WHEREAS, we, the City Council of the City of Palm Springs, express our steadfast
and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas
and its appalling acts of terrorism; and
WHEREAS, we make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification,
no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned. There is never any justification for
terrorism. In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred
families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and
kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as
hostages; and
WHEREAS, We, the City Council, further emphasize that this is not a moment for
any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage; and
WHEREAS, all of us recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people,
and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing
' for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. We, the City Council of the City of Palm Springs, will remain united
and coordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel to condemn terrorism
and support efforts to set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.
ADOPTED THIS 12TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2023.
