Preston City Council’s Labour members have called on the national party and the UK government to back growing calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
On Sunday, the Hamas-controlled Gazan health ministry said that the Palestinian death toll in the tiny, densely-populated territory had now surpassed 8,000. “There’s no way at all that ‘From the river to the sea…’ will be interpreted by any Jew in any way other than to call for total annihilation ,” Jeremy explained.
“Hamas just has to go. So we have got to get medical supplies in and refugees out, including the foreign nationals that are being prevented by Hamas from leaving. But Hamas has to go if there’s going to be any peace in the Middle East. Separately, 250 Muslim Labour councillors nationwide have written to him making the same request, with one of the signatories being the long-serving Preston City division representative on Lancashire County Council, Yousuf Motala.He said: “I believe what we are seeing from the Israelis, is the early stages of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. I therefore, concur with the United Nations Secretary General and call for a ceasefire as soon as possible.
