Labour’s shadow justice secretary has said there has been “a loss of trust” from British Muslims in her party over its position on the Israel-Gaza war.
Ten Labour frontbencher MPs resigned over the party’s initial reluctance to call for a ceasefire in the region.
Since then more than 27,700 Palestinians have been killed and at least 65,000 injured by waves of missiles launched by Israel into the Gaza Strip in response, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
A flashpoint came when Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer gave an interview to radio station LBC in October, in which he appeared to claim Israel had a right to cut off power and water from Gaza.
Tensions again boiled over when 56 Labour MPs defied party orders and voted for an SNP motion in the House of Commons calling explicitly for a ceasefire.
On Thursday, Mr Netanyahu rejected proposed ceasefire terms from Hamas- saying “total victory” in Gaza is possible within months.
