Shadow Minister for the New Deal for Working People, Imran Hussain, said he was “deeply troubled” over the Labour leader’s comments over the raging conflict.Calls have come for Sir Keir Starmer to resign and to let 'someone who has compassion to lead' after he refused to back a ceasefire in GazaIt comes after Starmer refused to back a ceasefire during an LBC interview last month - insisting that Israel has the right to defend itself against terror group Hamas.
He told presenter Nick Ferrari that Israel “has that right”, adding that “Hamas bears responsibility” for the consequences of the conflict.The US President reportedly called for a three-day pause to help secure the release of the hostages. The White House previously said Mr Biden and the Israeli prime minister discussed "the possibility of tactical pauses… to enable potential hostage releases".And Pendle Borough Council leader Asjad Mahmood also claimed Starmer “failed to listen” to calls for a ceasefire to “stop the innocent loss of lives”.
