Pro-Palestine activists believe there could be a “sea change” in the Labour party’s approach to the crisis in the Middle East which could result in the government taking a tougher stance on Israel.
Campaigners have pointed to the threat posed to Labour by the Green surge in the local elections, the likely departure of Keir Starmer from No 10, and new polling which shows an appetite among Labour members for a ban on all arms shipments to Israel.
The relative optimism marks a mood swing for a campaign that has been hit hard by losing successive high court cases, the labelling of Palestine Action as a terrorist group, and the failure of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace to progress Palestinian self-rule.
Both of the frontrunners to replace Starmer as UK prime minister, Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham, have in the past urged Labour to do more to support Palestine. In the debates so far both have refused to describe Israel’s actions as genocide, although Streeting has accused Israel of committing war crimes. He also circulated a dossier from British doctors working in Palestine to cabinet, only to be accused by Starmer, according to an interview in the Observer, of doing so for the document to be leaked.
