London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for a ceasefire in the Middle East - going further than both Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak.
Mr Khan has become the most senior Labour figure to call directly for a ceasefire in the current conflict, which started on October 7 with a massacre of Israeli civilians by Hamas.Sir Keir and Mr Sunak are both calling for 'pauses' in the conflict to allow aid in and allow hostages to get out but have not directly suggested a ceasefire.
Sir Keir met with MPs in Westminster on Wednesday afternoon then released a statement in which he called for "humanitarian pauses" in the fighting. He said it was "clear that the amount of aid and essential utilities getting into Gaza is completely insufficient" and said aid, fuel, water, electricity and medicines must be "ramped up". "We welcome Blinken's comments last night and we support humanitarian pauses," he went on.
