AN SNP amendment to the King’s Speech is likely to force Labour into a vote on whether to support a ceasefire in Gaza.

With more and more Labour MPs backing calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the SNP are utilising an amendment to the King’s Speech to force Keir Starmer’s party into a vote.

The Labour leader does not support a ceasefire but has instead backed “humanitarian pauses” and insisted that Israel has a right to defend itself despite the high number of casualties, including children, reported by the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza.after stating that he was “deeply troubled” by an interview Starmer gave on LBC, where he appeared to suggest that the Israeli government had the right to withhold water and power from people in Gaza.
