CAIRO – 13 June 2024: Britain's Labour Party, pledged on Thursday to recognize the Palestinian state as a contribution to a renewed peace process according to Reuters.

"Palestinian statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people," said Labour's election manifesto - the collection of policies it would enact if it forms the next government.

"We are committed to recognizing a Palestinian state as a contribution to a renewed peace process which results in a two-state solution with a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state."

On May 22, Norway, Ireland and Spain have recognized a Palestinian state in a historic move, the Associated Press said.

Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said on Wednesday it was coordinated with Spain and Norway, “an historic and important day for ... Palestine.”

Several other European countries have in the past weeks indicated that they plan to recognize a Palestinian state, arguing a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region.
