These MPs back a ceasefire and a ban on arms sales to Israel

In advance of polling day, Left Foot Forward exclusively revealed the list of parliamentary candidates who had signed up to Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s six demands in the general election.

The group called for candidates to support the following positions in relation to the ongoing situation in Gaza:

• An immediate ceasefire
• Restoration of funding to UNRWA
• An embargo on arms sales to Israel
• Support for the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to uphold international humanitarian law
• Suspending trade agreements with Israel
• Protecting the right to protest, boycott and divest from companies that are complicit in violations of international law

Now, Left Foot Forward can reveal which of those candidates were successfully elected to parliament.

The House of Commons will now have a total of 43 MPs who backed Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s demands. 19 of those are from the Labour Party, 7 are from Sinn Fein, 5 are from the SNP, three are from Plaid Cymru, 1 is from the SDLP and 1 from the Alliance Party. Three independent MPs signed up to the demands, including the former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. All four of the Green Party’s new MPs backed the demands.
