Sadiq Khan, Anas Sarwar, and other UK political figures urge ceasefire in Israel-Palestine conflict, while Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak remain silent. The letter also condemns Hamas attacks and calls for the release of hostages.
figures Sadiq Khan and Anas Sarwar voiced support for a ceasefire on Friday afternoon, a move which has not been repeated by Keir Starmer nor Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.Sunak and Starmer were amongst the recipients of the letter, as were Mark Drakeford, the Labour First Minister of Wales, and Michelle O’Neill, the Sinn Fein First Minister of Northern Ireland.
The killing of innocent civilians can never be justified, wherever it occurs. Israel, like every other country, has a right to protect itself from attack, but in doing so it must comply with international law.” “Food, water, fuel, and medicine are being restricted, with limited humanitarian supplies – nowhere near enough – being allowed in.
“We should stand together and united in unequivocally calling on all parties to commit to an immediate ceasefire to allow a humanitarian corridor to be opened, so that lifesaving supplies can get into Gaza and innocent civilians who want to leave be given safe passage out.“All of us must do everything we can to prevent that. There must be no more dithering, or delay, together we must call for an immediate ceasefire.
It comes as Starmer comes under growing pressure to call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after Khan, Sarwar and Andy Burnham all broke ranks to challenge his stance on Gaza.
