Senior party figures - including some frontbenchers - want their leader to call for an immediate end to hostilities so that vital humanitarian aid can reach civilians in Gaza.More than 150 Muslim Labour councillors also signed a letter today calling on the party leadership to back a ceasefire.
Sources close to Starmer said the meeting had been “constructive” and that he will continue to meet with party members to hear their concerns.But in a statement, the Labour leader would only say he backs US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting to let aid to Gaza get through.
“It is incumbent on all parties to make sure that the aid and utilities don’t just get in but reach those who need them. That’s why we’ve said deliveries need to be regular, fast and safe. We welcome Secretary Blinken’s comments last night and we support humanitarian pauses.
