Starmer faces rebellion over stance on Israel-Gaza war

56 Labour MPs vote against stance on Israel-Gaza war

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has met with Muslim MPs amid tensions over the party's stance on the conflict between Israel and Gaza. Starmer has faced a rebellion from within his party, with 56 Labour MPs voting against the party's stance on the conflict.

The meeting comes after days of criticism from Muslim MPs, who have accused Starmer of not doing enough to condemn Israel's actions in Gaza. Starmer has defended his position, saying that he believes in a two-state solution to the conflict and that he is committed to working towards peace.

The meeting is seen as an attempt by Starmer to quell the growing unrest within his party. However, it is unclear whether he will be able to satisfy the demands of his critics. The conflict between Israel and Gaza has reignited a long-running debate within the Labour Party over its stance on Israel.

Some MPs believe that the party should adopt a more critical stance towards Israel, while others believe that the party should maintain its traditional support for the country. Starmer's position on the conflict has been seen as an attempt to find a compromise between these two positions.
