Miami Beach commissioners will vote Wednesday on the mayor's controversial proposal to revoke the lease of a local movie theater that screened an Oscar-winning documentary on the war between Israel and Palestine.

The decision came after five of Mayor Steven Meiner’s colleagues said they would oppose the eviction proposal, which also called for pulling city grant funding to the theater.

The mayor of Miami Beach, Florida, is backing off a proposal to terminate an independent theater's lease and financial support after it screened an Oscar-winning documentary about the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis.
