Labour Party members are pressuring Andy Burnham to recognize Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide and impose a full arms embargo on Israel.

Andy Burnham is facing pressure from Labour groups to recognise Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide and impose a full arms embargo, setting up a potential showdown at next month’s party conference.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is facing mounting pressure from Labour members and grassroots Palestine groups to recognize Israel’s war on Gaza as genocide and impose a full arms embargo on Israel. Momentum, Labour & Palestine, the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign are pushing a motion at Labour’s upcoming conference demanding comprehensive sanctions, an arms embargo, and an end to trade that supports Israel’s military actions in Gaza or its settlement project in the occupied Palestinian territories. The pressure comes after Burnham apologized for Labour’s handling of Gaza under Keir Starmer, but stopped short of calling Israel’s war as a 'genocide'. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #Palestinian
