Pro-Palestine demonstrators splattered red paint on the Labour Party's London headquarters to protest against the party's stance on the Gaza conflict. The Youth Demand group called for an arms embargo on Israel, accusing Labour of complicity in Palestinian deaths. Twelve arrests were made, and Labour faced criticism for its stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict. While Keir Starmer's party suggested suspending arms exports to Israel pending legal advice, the government faced pressure to disclose its guidance. Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden stated the UK would halt arms sales to Israel if it breached international law in the conflict.
