In a statement on Friday, the Labour London mayor said military escalation would “deepen the humanitarian disaster” in the region.“I join the international community in calling for a ceasefire. It would stop the killing and would allow vital aid supplies to reach those who need it in Gaza,” he said.
In the past week, however, the row has gained further momentum as demands grow for Labour to support a ceasefire in the war.In a statement afterwards, he would only say he backs US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting, rather than a full ceasefire, to let aid to Gaza get through.
Khan said: “The terrible situation in Gaza now looks set to deteriorate even further. Thousands of innocent civilians - men, women and children have already been killed.“And it’s becoming impossible for aid to reach the people who desperately need it. Substantial military escalation is now likely, which will only deepen the humanitarian disaster.
“It would also allow the international community more time to prevent a protracted conflict in the region and further devastating loss of life.
