Lammy says Labour’s Gaza stance under Starmer was a misstep
TL;DR
Labour deputy leader David Lammy said Keir Starmer’s early comments on Gaza were a misstep that gave Labour a poor start in opposition, after Starmer suggested Israel has a general right to defend itself; Andy Burnham apologised for Labour’s initial response, and Labour later supported a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, with broader moves on foreign policy alongside ongoing domestic concerns.
