MPs have voted against an SNP motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The amendment to the King's Speech was defeated by 293 votes to 125 , with a number of Labour MPs defying party leader Keir Starmer to vote for it.
Put forward by SNP Westminster Leader Stephen Flynn, the motion proposed Parliament should join the UN and international aid organisations in "pressing all parties" to agree to an immediate ceasefire.
The Conservative party voted against the amendment, with Keir Starmer instructing his MPs to abstain.
Instead, the Labour leader is calling for "humanitarian pauses" to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in order to deliver aid.
However, a number of Labour MPs rebelled against the whip, including members of the Shadow Cabinet.
Jess Phillips, Yasmin Qureshi, Afzal Khan and Paula Barker quit their positions as Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence, Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities, Shadow Minister for Exports and Shadow Minister for Devolution respectively.
Ms Qureshi said: "The scale of bloodshed in Gaza is unprecedented. Tonight, I will vote for an immediate ceasefire.
"We must call for an end to the carnage to protect innocents lives and end human suffering. With regret, I have stepped down as Shadow Women and Equalities Minister."
Scottish Labour's two MPs abstained on the SNP motion.
