London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar have defied Labour leader Keir Starmer's stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict by calling for a cease-fire. Khan stated that while Israel has the right to defend itself, it does not have the right to break international law. Sarwar echoed the call for an immediate cease-fire, emphasizing the need for the release of hostages and access to humanitarian supplies. Starmer has faced criticism from within his own party for not going further in his calls for a cease-fire, with some Labour MPs signing a parliamentary motion on the issue.
