- Here's what Burnham must do if he really wants to reset Labour's Palestine policy
Andy Burnham, a Labour MP and presumed next party leader, has apologized for Labour's past failures on Palestine policy but faces pressure to implement concrete changes like halting arms sales to Israel and ending the crackdown on anti-genocide protesters. Polls show strong Labour member support for an arms embargo (78%) and a trade ban on Israeli settlements (87%), with 58% citing Palestine policy as crucial for leadership decisions. A Labour conference motion last year accepted a UN report finding Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
