The Government's being told phrasing in its call for an end to violence in Gaza needs to pack a stronger punch.
All parties in the House have supported a motion urging those involved in the conflict to 'take urgent steps towards establishing a cease-fire.'
Geopolitical analyst Geoffrey Miller told Tim Dower that the wording is telling.
He says the Government clearly didn't want to call for an immediate cease-fire, so 'steps towards' was the compromise.
He says as the UN has called for an immediate end to fighting, we should follow suit.
