SNP strengthens Gaza ceasefire motion to call for halt to UK arms supplies to Israel

MPs will face a fresh Commons motion demanding a halt to UK arms supplies to Israel this week when the SNP relaunches its parliamentary battle calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. 

An SNP call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza ended in chaos last week when Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle gave precedence to a Labour amendment watering down the call.

To make up for the debacle, the SNP is being allowed to submit a new motion, which will be debated on Wednesday.
