On October 27, 2023, London Mayor Sadiq Khan called for a ceasefire in Gaza, a move that has put pressure on UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer. The mayor's call comes amidst escalating tensions and violence in the region. Khan, who is of Pakistani descent and a practicing Muslim, has been vocal about his concerns regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. His stance has reportedly caused a rift within the Labour Party, with some members supporting his call for a ceasefire, while others, including Starmer, have been more cautious in their approach. Starmer's handling of the situation is being viewed as a significant test of his leadership. The Labour Party has traditionally been seen as a safe home for Muslims in the UK, but recent events have led to questions about whether this is still the case. Some critics argue that the party's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict is causing a divide among its members and alienating some of its Muslim supporters.
