The London Mayor was joined by the Scottish Labour leader in demanding an end to the conflict.
Sir Keir Starmer is under growing pressure to call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the party’s leader in Scotland, Anas Sarwar, both broke ranks to challenge his stance.
Mr Khan, who became the first ever Muslim mayor of the capital in 2016, released a video on social media to “join the international community in calling for a ceasefire”. “A widespread military escalation will only deepen the humanitarian disaster. It will increase human suffering on all sides. No nation, including Israel, has the right to break international law.”Four hours later, Mr Sarwar, who in 2021 became the UK’s first Muslim to lead a political party, made the same demand, with his own video.
He argued there is “no justification for the collective punishment of the people of Gaza” and said that withholding essential supplies is a breach of international law. “That applies to Israel too, they have the right under international law to do that,” he told Sky News.
