The House of Commons has rejected calls for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

MPs voted by 293 to 125 against an SNP motion calling on the government to “join with the international community in urgently pressing all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire”.

That was despite a major rebellion by dozens of Labour MPs, who defied Keir Starmer to vote with the Scottish nationalists.

Earlier, the Commons had voted by 290 to 183 against a Labour call for immediate “humanitarian pauses” in the conflict to allow aid to get through to civilians in Gaza.
