| Labour party says backs Palestinian state 'at right time' | |
| 2015-04-13 | |
[Iran Press TV] British Labour Party leader says he will recognize Paleostine as an independent state 'at the right time,' should he win the May 7 general election.
"What we said at the time of that vote was that it was a vote about the principle of recognition. And clearly a decision about when recognition would take place was dependent on how it would constructively help negotiations," RT reported. "I am not going to get into, today, speculation about when that would precisely be. That is a judgment we would have to take at the time." Miliband, who is of Jewish decent, visited Israel and the Paleostinian Territories last April. During his visit to the West Bank, he said expanding Israeli settlements in the occupied territories posed "a mortal threat to the two-state solution." | |
