Penrith MP Votes “Against” Call For Immediate Ceasefire In Gaza?

Penrith and The Border MP Dr Neil Hudson has today vote against a motion amendment by the SNP in Parliament calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza in what some UN directors have said is a text-book case of genocide.


The amendment to the Kings Speech was made by the SNP calling for “all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire” in Gaza.


Dr Neil Hudson was among the 293 MP’s who voted against the motion calling for calling for “all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire” in Gaza with UN expert warning of new instance of mass ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and has prompted Craig Mokhiber, a director at the United Nations, to resign over what he claimed was the organization’s “failure” to act against what he called a "text-book case of genocide." And a separate coalition of U.N. experts have also expressed concern, warning that Palestinians were “at grave risk of genocide.” As a result of the War that has broken out following the terror attacks in Israel on the 7th of October.


The vote on the amendment failed with 293 MP’s voting against the amendment to 125 MP’s voting to support the call for a ceasefire.


What do you thing should MP’s be supporting calls for a ceasefire?
