A long-serving Lancashire county councillor has called on Sir Keir Starmer to resign over the stance the Labour Party has taken on the war in Gaza – accusing him of countenancing the killing of “innocent civilians”.
Yousuf Motala, who has represented the Preston City division at County Hall for almost 15 years, issued a statement telling the Labour leader that he should step aside to make way for someone “who can show compassion” and put the case for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict.
According to the Gazan health ministry – run by Hamas, the UK-proscribed terror organisation that controls the Gaza Strip – over 9,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s response to the Hamas attack on its territory, on 7th October, in which more than 1,300 Israelis died and over 200 were kidnapped.
