00:00Britain's Prime Minister in waiting, Andy Burnham, says the United Kingdom government's response to the war in Gaza has not
00:08been good enough and is promising a tougher approach toward Israel.
00:12In an interview with The Guardian, Burnham acknowledged criticism of the current Labour government's handling on the conflict and said
00:19more pressure should be considered, including additional sanctions and a possible ban on trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied
00:27West Bank.
00:27His comments come as Prime Minister Kir Starmer's government has already imposed sanctions on Israeli ministers accused of inciting settler
00:36violence, suspended free trade talks with Israel and formally recognized the state of Palestine.
00:42However, many pro-Palestinian groups argue those measures have not come far enough, with some voters shifting their support to
00:49the Green Party over the issue.
