Labour Party MPs have been given security advice as tensions rise over the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, it has been revealed.<\/p>\n

According to HuffPost UK, the party chief whip Alan Campbell has written to MPs acknowledging they “may have heightened security concerns”. He said: “I know this has been a very difficult period for colleagues and we appreciate the pressure that you are under as a leader in your community.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven recent events, I understand that colleagues may have heightened security concerns and I wanted to remind you of both the security and wellbeing support that is available to members.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Cryer, the chair of the parliamentary Labour party, is also set to email MPs’ staff to offer “additional advice on security and the support services available to them\u201d.<\/p>\n

Campbell told MPs to take caution when attending “protests and demostrations” about the conflict. He added: \u201cYour personal safety should always be paramount for any event you are considering attending.”<\/p>\n

The message to politicians comes as Sir Keir Starmer has been criticised for the way the party has handled the conflict. He angered many supporters by appearing to give support to Israel cutting off food, fuel and water supplies to Gaza.<\/p>\n

Muslim voters in particular were said to be outraged and contacted their local MPs. Starmer has however insisted he was supporting Israel’s right to defend itself.<\/p>\n
