The Labour leader said Israel did not have the right to withhold humanitarian aid after previous comments he made in an interview prompted resignations from within the party.
Sir Keir Starmer has sought to clarify remarks he made about Israel's decision to limit supplies to Gaza after they sparked concern and even resignations among Labour councillors. The Labour leader reiterated today that Israel had a 'right to self-defence', but said that did not mean it should withhold humanitarian aid to Gaza, which is home to 2.2 million civilians.
I was not saying that Israel had the right to cut off water, food, fuel or medicines. 'On the contrary. For over a week now, I have been leading the charge calling for that humanitarian aid to come in. 'We all know there are innocent civilians in Gaza in a humanitarian crisis, a million children that aid urgently needs to get in.
