Only 93 MPs in Westminster support a parliamentary motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, as of 8 November. Some 86% continue to support Israel’s bombing, involving attacks on civilians which have killed over 10,000 Palestinians.

A parliamentary Early Day Motion (EDM) brought by Labour MP Richard Burgon on 8 November has secured 93 signatories – just 14% of the UK’s 650 MPs. A first EDM, brought on 7 October, was signed by 95 MPs.

The EDM condemns the Hamas attacks on Israel and Israel’s siege of Gaza, and calls for the release of Hamas hostages and an immediate ceasefire. 

The Palestinian death toll has now surpassed 10,000, mostly women and children, amid United Nations agencies all calling for a ceasefire.  

Amnesty International has documented “indiscriminate” attacks on civilians, and a team of UN experts has said Israel’s campaign in Gaza involves “crimes against humanity”. A senior UN human rights official has declared:

“We are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes”.

Here are the MPs in our hall of shame.
