The Labour Party leader, Keir Starmer, is facing a growing rebellion within his party over his support for Israel in the Gaza conflict. Several Labour frontbenchers and MPs are calling for an immediate ceasefire and accusing Starmer of 'gaslighting' Muslim MPs. Over 250 mainly Muslim councillors have signed a letter demanding a ceasefire. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have also called for a ceasefire. Three senior Labour politicians have joined the calls for a ceasefire, adding to the pressure on Starmer.
