LONDON – Labor MP Imran Hussain has resigned as a minister in Britain’s opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer’s shadow ministerial team over his desire to advocate strongly for a ceasefire in Gaza. After resigning, Imran Hussain said he was committed to the Labor Party’s agenda, but that his view of Gaza differed significantly from Sir Keir’s.
Sir Keir called for humanitarian measures to be taken in Gaza. But now the call for a ceasefire has not been supported. In a resignation letter posted on his social media account, Imran Hussain said he intends to work with the UN and multiple charities to advocate strongly for a ceasefire. Imran Hussain argued that a ceasefire was necessary to end the bloodshed and would help in the delivery of aid to those in need and the safe return of Israeli hostages.
Imran Hussain said he was deeply disturbed by Sir Keir’s October 11 interview about Israel’s actions in Gaza. Imran Hussain added that he unequivocally condemns the October 7 attacks by Hamas. Imran Hussain is waiting for the reaction of the Labor Party after his resignation. Britain has a pro-Israel position in the Israel-Hamas war.
