"Labour's Internal Struggles Deepen Over Israel-Gaza Conflict"

Pressure is mounting on Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to change his stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict, as mayors Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham, along with Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, call for a ceasefire. Sir Keir has instead backed humanitarian pauses to allow aid into Gaza, aligning with the UK government, the US, and the EU. The move puts the three senior Labour figures at odds with their party leader, and comes amid growing discomfort within the party over Sir Keir's position. The Labour leader's stance has led to resignations from councillors and calls for a ceasefire from dozens of Labour MPs. However, the party leadership is trying to avoid an internal fight and maintain its position.
