Labour Shifts Stance to Back Immediate Gaza Ceasefire

Labour calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, bringing its position closer to the UK's allies and the SNP
The move comes after 10 Labour frontbenchers resigned in November to back an SNP motion calling for a ceasefire
Labour had previously called for a "humanitarian pause" and end to fighting "as soon as possible" rather than an "immediate ceasefire"
The SNP welcomes Labour's "U-turn" on the issue, though there are still differences in emphasis between the parties
It remains unclear how Labour would vote on the SNP's upcoming motion calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza
