Sadiq Khan's Urgent Call to Keir Starmer for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire

Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, is putting pressure on Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, to back calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Khan emphasized that further military escalation would worsen the humanitarian crisis in the region.

Khan joined the international community's appeal for a ceasefire, stating that it would halt the killings and facilitate the delivery of essential aid supplies to Gaza. His intervention comes amid growing dissatisfaction among Labour MPs regarding Starmer's response to the Middle East crisis.

During an interview on LBC, Starmer appeared to support Israel's decision to cut off water, fuel, and food supplies to Gaza, causing anger and outrage among voters across the country.

Starmer later clarified that he was expressing support for Israel's right to defend itself in general terms, rather than specifically endorsing those tactics. However, this clarification has not quelled the growing discontent within the Labour Party.

The demand for Labour to support a ceasefire has gained momentum in the past week. Starmer met with a group of Muslim Labour MPs and peers to hear their concerns, but only committed to endorsing US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's call for "humanitarian pauses" in the fighting, rather than a complete ceasefire.

Up to 100 Labour MPs, including 40 frontbenchers, have expressed their unhappiness to Starmer's office regarding his response to the crisis.

In a statement, Khan emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire, highlighting the escalating humanitarian disaster and the difficulty of delivering aid to those in need. He stressed that a ceasefire would not only halt the killings, but also provide the international community with more time to prevent further loss of life and a protracted conflict in the region.

Khan further acknowledged Israel's right to defend itself and take action against those responsible for recent terror attacks, but urged the international community to redouble efforts in securing the release of hostages.
