As civilians in both Israel and Gaza, the Palestinian territory governed by Hamas, continue to be on the receiving end of the war that broke out on October 7,
the political repercussions of the conflict is altering the dynamics in upcoming elections in countries as far away as the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Though the resolution is non-binding, it reflects world opinion on events unfolding in the Middle East. In contract, the Security Council, which has powers to pass binding resolutions, has been unable to pass a motion on the crisis without either Russia or the US wielding its veto power. The UN General Assembly resolution stressed the importance of preventing further destabilisation and escalation of violence in the region.
The protests have put considerable pressure on the UK government, but it is in the opposition Labour Party that the war is causing a rebellion. A new YouGov survey finds that 42 per cent of 2019 Labour voters think that he has badly handled his response to Israel-Hamas conflict. They also warned the Labour leader that the party faces an “existential threat” in seats with a large number of Muslim voters, as councillors quit and local parties pass motions in favour of an immediate ceasefire.
The conflict in Gaza always had the potential to reopen faultlines in the Labour Party, given that Starmer has expended a huge amount of time and effort trying to turn the page on claims of antisemitism under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. Restoring Labour’s shattered reputation with the Jewish community has been Starmer’s top priority as leader.
