Imran Hussain has become the first Labour frontbencher to resign over his party's stance on Israel's conflict with Gaza.
Mr Hussain stepped down from his role as Shadow Minister for the New Deal for Working People so he could "strongly advocate for a ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas.The MP for Bradford East said had been on the Labour front bench for the past eight years.His resignation will come as a further blow to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who is advocating for a 'humanitarian pause' in the conflict, rather than a ceasefire.
Mr Hussain said in a letter to Sir Keir: "It has become clear that my view on the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza differs substantially from the position you have adopted."I believe the party needs to go further and call for a ceasefire." He added: "As I write, more than 1,400 Israeli and over 10,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed in the last month," he wrote.
