UK Political Divide Deepens Over Gaza Conflict

Public support for ceasefire grows as politicians remain unmoved, leading to potential rebellion within Labour Party.

Suella Braverman, the former Home Secretary, was sacked after her attempts to ban pro-Palestinian demonstrations and accusing the police of bias, which led to bolstering the far-right presence in London.
Despite the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, British leaders remain supportive of Israel's military campaign, refusing to call for a ceasefire.
Labour leader Keir Starmer is facing a potential rebellion from his party over his refusal to support a ceasefire, with multiple members of his frontbench team reportedly on the brink of resignation.
Naz Shah, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Crime Reduction, effectively quit her position in defiance of Starmer's stance, voting for an immediate ceasefire.
Despite the political divide, an overwhelming majority of Britons back a ceasefire, and the protest movement calling for a ceasefire is reportedly the largest in Britain in 20 years.
