The UK Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer and coordinated nationally, is facing electoral challenges due to its stance on the Gaza conflict. Starmer acknowledged the impact of the party's position on Gaza in losing council seats in Oldham and expressed a commitment to win back the trust of voters, particularly as Labour support falls in Muslim communities. He emphasized the importance of listening to concerns about the party's failure to adequately address the tragedy of the Palestinian people and condemn Israeli actions.
