Keir Starmer, leader of the UK Labour Party, is facing a growing rebellion within his party over his stance on the Gaza-Israel conflict. Shadow Ministers have threatened to resign, and a majority of MPs now support a 'humanitarian pause in hostilities.' Muslim politicians and left-wing members are criticizing Starmer for his support of Israel. London Mayor Sadiq Khan and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn have also called for a ceasefire.
