Sir Keir Starmer's Battle

Sir Keir Starmer is working to prevent a Labour rebellion as a crucial Commons vote on a Gaza ceasefire approaches.

Looming Decision

Labour rebels are considering supporting an SNP motion for an immediate end to the Israel-Hamas war.

Labour's Amendment

To avoid a revolt, Sir Keir proposed an amendment calling for an instant laying down of weapons and the release of hostages.

SNP's Motion vs. Labour's Stance

The SNP accuses Israel of "collective punishment," while Labour stresses the need for a ceasefire observed by both sides.

Tories' Amendment

The Conservatives have their own amendment, advocating for an immediate pause in fighting leading to a "sustainable ceasefire."

Call to Action

Shadow International Development Secretary Lisa Nandy urges all MPs to support Labour's amendment for a united voice in the critical moment.

Criticism from Ministers

Ministers criticize Labour and the SNP for politicizing international relations instead of focusing on the Gaza situation.
