A public commenter urged an end to a decades-long conflict and called for a two-state solution and an independent state of Palestine during the meeting’s public-comment period.

Why it matters: The speaker framed the issue as a humanitarian and international responsibility, saying that children had been ‘‘burned, losing their hands, their arms, their parents, their whole family’’ yet continued to show resilience and a desire to return to school. The commenter argued that ‘‘lasting peace will never be ensured by war, by terrorism, occupation, but only by a stable peace agreement leading to 2 states, leading to an independent state of Palestine where future generation can live in dignity as well.’’
The remarks were delivered during the public-comment portion of the meeting. The transcript contains no record of formal action, motions, or votes tied to the speaker’s remarks.
