Labour's manifesto states the party is 'committed to recognising a Palestinian state' as part of a renewed push for peace in the Middle East and a two-state solution.
Sir Keir Starmer will delay recognising a Palestinian state if Labour wins power next week due to fears it could rock Britain's relationship with the US, it is reported.
They have reportedly expressed fears that doing so would open up a dividing line with America and other Western nations. 'We must recognise the state of Palestine. Not some time in the future. Not when the time is right. Now.' There are 145 countries that recognise Palestine but Britain, France, the US and Germany are not among them.
