MPs in Parliament rejected a request for a ceasefire in Gaza yesterday (Wednesday, November 15) with many Labour frontbenchers leaving their positions as a result.
In the end, MPs voted 293 to 125, a majority of 168, to reject the SNP’s King’s Speech amendment calling for “all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire” in Gaza.
56 Labour MPs backed the position, rejecting their party leader’s stance.
They had been ordered to abstain on the SNP move and were told instead to back Sir Keir’s position calling for longer “humanitarian pauses” rather than a ceasefire.
Four shadow ministers, including Jess Phillips, Yasmin Qureshi, Afzal Khan and Paula Barker, quit on Wednesday evening.
Rachel Hopkins, Sarah Owen, Naz Shah and Andy Slaughter also left frontbench positions.
If you were curious as to how your local MP voted on the Gaza ceasefire amendment, here's a breakdown of that.

The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has argued that a ceasefire would not be appropriate because it would freeze the conflict and embolden Hamas, BBC News reports.
Labour, like the Conservative government, the United States and the European Union, is calling for "humanitarian pauses" to help aid reach Gaza.
Compared with a formal ceasefire, these pauses tend to last for short periods of time, sometimes just a few hours.
They are implemented with the aim of providing humanitarian support only, as opposed to achieving long-term political solutions.
