  • For The First Time, The Labor Party Has Called For An Immediate Ceasefire In Gaza

    For The First Time, The Labor Party Has Called For An Immediate Ceasefire In Gaza

    Canada Global(Web News) The Labor Party has demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the first time on humanitarian grounds.

    This initiative was taken after several days of discussion in the party. Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer has been calling for an end to the fighting “now” for some time, but yesterday was the first time the words “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” were used. Ten benchers of the Labor Front had resigned while voting on the ceasefire motion in Parliament in the last few days. Meanwhile, Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lemmy has said that Labor has changed its position because the situation in Gaza has improved. Mr Lemmy said Labor was now speaking the language of the United Nations and the remaining members of the Five Islands Alliance, which includes the intelligence services of the US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The phrase “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” has been used for the ceasefire movement.

    Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer has been calling for an end to the fighting for some time. This means that in practice Labour’s position is now much closer to that of the SNP – although Labor’s revisionism to the SNP continued to emphasize Israel’s long-term ceasefire role alongside Hamas. “Our amendment, according to our allies, calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire,” the party spokesman said, adding that we need the release and return of the hostages. We need to stop the fighting now, we need a massive humanitarian aid program for Gaza and no military action can go ahead in Rafah. We want the fighting to stop now.

    We also need to be clear about how we prevent violence from reoccurring. There can be no lasting peace without a diplomatic process that provides a two-state solution that includes a secure Israel and a viable Palestinian state. While the Labor Party leadership has avoided using the phrase “immediate ceasefire”, there was a clear split in the party in November when 56 of Labour’s 198 MPs backed the SNP’s motion. The Star instead called for a humanitarian pause and an early end to the fighting. Clive Bates, one of the Labor MPs who opposed the leadership in November, said Labour’s amendment was “a really strong statement that the party is behind will be united. However, the left-wing campaign group Momentum said the amendment only scratched the surface and fell short of what was needed at the time: a clear call for an immediate ceasefire. By making calls for a ceasefire conditional and warning, the Labor leadership is hiding the continuation of Israel’s brutal war. Mr Lammy told British media that Labour’s amendment reflected the complexity of the situation and the desire for a lasting humanitarian ceasefire.

    SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn welcomed what he described as Sir Kerr’s long-overdue U-turn. He said the Labor leader had been forced into the pledge by “public pressure and particularly from the SNP”. Mr Flynn also called on Prime Minister Rishi Sonak to back an immediate ceasefire. Kerry has come under increasing pressure after passing a motion calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Labour’s position on Gaza is also being tested in the upcoming Rochdale by-election, where the party has debated the conflict. Duran dropped his parliamentary candidacy over apparently anti-Semitic comments.

    The SNP has called for an “immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Israel as the only way to stop the massacre of innocent civilians”. The move will begin if it does not. The date marks the start of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron has said the government is “now ready” to help the hostages leave. It is demanding the end of hostilities.

    At least 9 killed in Pakistan Ramadan donation stampede

    Canada Global (Web News) As a result of a Ramadan alms contribution that prompted a stampede in the country’s inflation-stricken southern city of Karachi, at least nine people were killed, according to officials.

    The Pakistani rupee has been in freefall for months, and the cost of basic foods has increased by almost 50% as the nation struggles with a balance of payments crisis that has forced it into bailout negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

    Senior police officer Fida Janwari said the stampede occurred as desperate ladies with children flocked to a factory handing out donations. Baldia Town is a suburb in western Karachi.

    Many began to flee as a result of the panic, he told AFP.

    According to spokesman Muhammad Farraukh, the bodies of six women and three children were taken to the Abbasi Shaheed state hospital.

    Two more dead were delivered to another hospital in the city, a Rescue NGO representative told AFP.

    Asma Ahmed, 30, claimed that among the deceased were her grandma and niece.
