Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting said his party is “considering” its options on whether to back an SNP-led vote this week on an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East.
Labour has so far not ruled out backing the Commons vote, with fears it could create a further divide among MPs on the Israel-Hamas war.
"We'll wait and see the final wording of the motion and we will make Labour's position clear, not just in terms of votes on Wednesday but where we are on the ceasefire," Mr Streeting said.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting voices concern over a proposed bill to legalise assisted dying. He says, “failures in palliative care mean that assisted dying wouldn’t give people a real choice. It would become not a right to die, but effectively an obligation to die because the support isn’t there for good end-of-life care”.
