Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has met Muslim MPs amid tensions over the party's stance on the Israel-Gaza war.
It comes as more than 150 Labour Muslim councillors [size=inherit]
have written to him urging the party leadership to call for an immediate ceasefire in the regionSir Keir has faced criticism since appearing to say Israel had the "right" to cut off water and energy to Gaza.
He later clarified that he meant only that the country had a right to self-defence.
The meeting - attended by one peer and around ten MPs, including at least one frontbencher - was described as "constructive" by a Labour source.
One frontbencher said there was "talk of resignations" over the ceasefire issue.
A MP told the BBC it was "the start of a dialogue", adding there was a recognition from the leadership of how important the issue was to communities.
Another MP, who is concerned Sir Keir has not called for a ceasefire, said: "I'd like to think [the Labour leader] was in listening mode."
But they added they did not get the policy shift they were looking for.
