A coalition of politicians from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland has called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to impose immediate sanctions on Israel, end all arms sales, and support a war crimes investigation. In a letter, twelve lawmakers expressed deep concern over the UK government's support for Israel's actions in Gaza, urging parliament to be recalled from recess to address the crisis. The signatories, including prominent regional leaders, emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian aid, and accountability for alleged war crimes and genocide. The letter criticized Starmer's proposed timeline for recognizing a Palestinian state as insufficient, warning that delays would result in further civilian suffering. Starmer continues to face mounting pressure from both regional leaders and members of his own party to take stronger action in response to the ongoing conflict.
