Labour councillors from Burnley and Pendle Borough Councils have called for Sir Keir Starmer's resignation as leader of the UK Labour Party due to his refusal to back a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
They argue that Starmer's stance contradicts Labour values and lacks empathy. The Labour Party has faced criticism and resignations over its position on the conflict, with some members demanding stronger condemnation of Israel.
Starmer believes in a long-term political solution and emphasizes the need for a two-state solution in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The issue highlights internal divisions within the Labour Party.
