Labor, the British opposition Labor Party, which is well ahead in the polls ahead of the July 4 elections, pledged Thursday to recognize a Palestinian state in order to help revive the peace process.

“The creation of a Palestinian state is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people,” states Labour’s election manifesto, that is to say the set of policies it would implement if it formed the next government.

“We commit to recognizing Palestinian statehood as a contribution to a renewed peace process that would result in a two-state solution, with a safe and secure Israel and a viable and sovereign Palestinian state. »

In May, Spain, Ireland and Norway officially recognized the state of Palestine, angering Israel, which said the move was a reward for terrorism, in the wake of the barbaric assault and sadist of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas on southern Israel on October 7.
