A LABOUR frontbencher has resigned over Keir Starmer\u2019s refusal to back a ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Shadow Minister for the New Deal for Working People, Imran Hussain, said he was \u201cdeeply troubled\u201d over the Labour leader\u2019s comments over the raging conflict.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

It comes after Starmer refused to back a ceasefire during an LBC interview last month – insisting that Israel has the right to defend itself against terror group Hamas.<\/p>\n

Bradford East MP Hussain claimed his former boss had \u201cendorsed\u201d the actions of the Israeli military.<\/p>\n

In a letter addressed to Starmer, Hussain wrote: \u201cThe cutting of food, water, power and medicine to Palestinians in Gaza is an act of collective punishment that violates international law.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike many others, I was therefore deeply troubled by the comments you made.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou appeared to endorse such actions by such actions by the Israeli military.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MP insisted he would continue to push for a ceasefire from the backbenches.<\/p>\n

During an interview with LBC at Labour Party Conference last month, Starmer was asked if he supported Israel\u2019s move to cut off food and supplies entering sieged Gaza.<\/p>\n

He told presenter Nick Ferrari that Israel \u201chas that right\u201d, adding that \u201cHamas bears responsibility\u201d for the consequences of the conflict.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cblindly following\u00a0Rishi Sunak\u201d was \u201cnot acceptable\u201d.<\/p>\n

And Pendle Borough Council leader Asjad Mahmood also claimed Starmer \u201cfailed to listen\u201d to calls for a ceasefire to \u201cstop the innocent loss of lives\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added that\u00a0Sir Keir\u00a0should resign to \u201callow someone who has compassion to lead our party\u201d.<\/p>\n

It comes after the\u00a0opposition chief\u00a0insisted in a major speech on Tuesday that an immediate ceasefire would only allow\u00a0Hamas\u00a0to regather strength and plot more\u00a0barbaric terrorist attacks\u00a0against Israeli civilians.<\/p>\n

In his speech Sir Keir argued that\u00a0Israel\u00a0has a fundamental right to defend itself – but must do so in the confines of international law.<\/p>\n
