Bass and Raman split on Gaza at LA mayoral forum
Original: Bass, Raman split on Gaza, term ‘genocide’ while addressing Jewish voters at L.A. mayoral forum
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and her challenger, City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto's rival councilmember Nithya Raman, addressed Jewish voters at a mayoral-style forum and openly diverged on Gaza, including whether to use the word 'genocide' to describe the war. The split highlights how the conflict has become a live issue in local Los Angeles politics, home to large Jewish and Muslim communities.
Why now: The Gaza war is increasingly shaping local political races, and a public disagreement between prominent Los Angeles officials draws attention.
