Paul Bristow, a ministerial aide, was removed from his government role for calling for a Gaza ceasefire, which clashed with the government's position supporting humanitarian pauses, not a full ceasefire.
Bristow, a Conservative MP, had advocated for a "permanent ceasefire" to save lives and aid delivery.
The government cited "collective responsibility" for his dismissal. In response, Bristow expressed understanding and a commitment to advocate from the backbenches.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls for a ceasefire, while Labour MP Andy McDonald was suspended for comments related to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
