This has led to claims – including from one of its own MPs – that the party is silencing debate on the topic. More than 30 Palestine motions were passed by Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs) and affiliated organisations – including demanding that the UK Government imposes comprehensive sanctions on Israel and brings in a full arms embargo. The overwhelming majority of the Palestine motions were ruled out of order by the CAC on the grounds that they did “not relate to a new issue not substantially covered in the National Policy Framework (NPF) Annual Report 2025 report”.

Recent polling has found that 72% of Labour’s 2024 voters want a full arms embargo on Israel.
