The Labour frontbencher argued for ‘peaceful political solutions’ to be negotiated, contrary to Sir Keir Starmer’s position for the party.
Labour frontbencher Jess Phillips has argued Israel’s military action against Hamas will only end in “death and destruction” as she called for the negotiation of “peaceful political solutions”.
Ms Phillips, the shadow domestic violence and safeguarding minister, directly challenged the notion that Israel is defending itself by going after Hamas for its October 7 atrocity. The MP for Birmingham Yardley became emotional during the interview as they discussed her efforts in helping to secure the release of some of her constituents from Gaza.
She argued “whether we call it a ceasefire or whether we call it a pause… has become semantics, because it isn’t happening”. In a speech defending his position on Tuesday, Sir Keir said he recognised he has to address “collective responsibility”, the principle that his shadow ministers must adopt a unified position.
