Mayor Mark Dion of Portland, Maine, has apologized for his vote in support of the city council's resolution to divest from companies linked to Israel. Dion admitted that his vote was wrong and a serious mistake in judgment. The divestment resolution was passed in September, but it was later revealed that the city had no funds invested in the targeted companies. The local Jewish community expressed gratitude for the mayor's apology and acknowledged the harm caused by the resolution.
