Labour looking at sanctions on far-right Israeli ministers
Prime Minister Keir Starmer departs 10 Downing Street, London, to attend Prime Minister's Questions at the Houses of Parliament, October 16, 2024
LABOUR is considering sanctioning two far-right Israeli ministers as pressure mounts on the government to take tougher action against Israel.
The government is also joining with France and Algeria to convene an urgent meeting of the United Nations security council to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The move comes after a clear view from MPs across the Commons earlier this week that the government is doing little or nothing in practice to halt the genocide against the Palestinians and Israel’s widening aggressions.
