There's more far more too it than that. He's not losing voters over it. Voters dont really care. If they did it would be reflected in the polls.
If you look
really carefully ( ie bother to look at the wider picture at all) you'll see that Starmer recently had meetings with a whole number of key foreign ministers at the Munich security conference. He is PM-in-waiting, is behaving as and being treated as such. His line on the ceasefire is changing

Starmer's stance isn't about how it goes down in UK, it is about Starmer preparing for Prime Ministership in the context of the wider world.
The vote, however, was purely about domestic politics.
He got what he wanted, then, didn't he. Win.

See the above. It was a cynical point-scoring attempt by the SNP because they are worried about polls showing Labour is catching up with them.
