“It was unanimously agreed at our Full Council meeting last month to light our Civic Offices in yellow, on that day, as a symbol of humanitarian solidarity for the remaining Jewish and Druze Arab hostages still being held in Gaza.
“We also recognise that the conflict which has followed the terror attacks has led to the deaths and suffering of thousands of innocent Palestinians. The immediate release of all hostages would be a huge step towards ending this cycle of violence.”
As reported by Jewish News, the offices were lit up in blue and white in solidarity with Israel shortly after October 7th last year.
