YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSpeaking to LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr, David Lammy discusses how Labour's ceasefire motion differs from the Scottish National Party's.
In an apparent attempt to get ahead of another possible rebellion, Labour on Tuesday tabled its lengthy amendment, which will be voted on tomorrow.
The motion calls on MPs to "support Australia, Canada and New Zealand's calls for Hamas to release and return all hostages and for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, which means an immediate stop to the fighting and a ceasefire that lasts and is observed by all sides".
David Lammy told Andrew Marr that it would be "great if we could speak with one voice" but that Labour includes Palestinian recognition.
Andrew Marr was also joined by the SNP's Stephen Flynn to discuss their proposal and Frank Lowenstein, former United States Envoy for Middle East Peace, on the U.S's latest position shift as well.
