UK MP Naz Shah has said she will vote for a ceasefire in Gaza, defying the Labour whip. Members of the UK House of Commons will vote on amendment brought by the Scottish National Party on an immediate ceasefire and halt to fighting in Gaza.

The motion was moved last week by the Scottish National Party, which said it intends to seek a vote calling on the UK government to “join the international community in urgently pressing all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire”.
