Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Rachel Wearmouth and Zoë Grünewald to answer a listener question on Keir Starmer's position following comments he made at the start of the Isreal-Hamas war which appeared to suggest that Israel had a right to besiege Gaza. Starmer has since denied that he supports Israel in the action of cutting off power and water to Gaza.
