THE SNP has today written to Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer urging them to “change course” and back an immediate ceasefire in Gaza amid mounting concern over plans for a major military assault on Rafah.
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn warned the Prime Minister and the Labour leader that the action would “amount to waging a war in the largest refugee camp in the world.”
He said the assault “cannot be allowed to happen” and warned that “only pressing for an immediate ceasefire has any hope of stopping an even more horrific humanitarian disaster unfolding before the watching world.”
