‘We got it wrong’ on Gaza, says UK Labour’s Andy Burnham

UK’s likely next PM Burnham pushes for ceasefire, tougher sanctions over Gaza violence, and settlement trade bans.

The United Kingdom’s likely incoming next prime minister, Andy Burnham, has apologised for the Labour Party’s initial response to Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying “we got it wrong” while calling for further sanctions on those involved in violence in the besieged enclave.

“Many people feel that at the start of Israel’s military operation in Gaza, my party didn’t get it right and I am sorry about that,” Burnham said on Thursday in a video message posted on X.
