The UK's Labour Party has pledged to recognize Palestinian statehood as part of its election manifesto. The manifesto states that Palestinian statehood is an inalienable right and commits to recognizing a Palestinian state as a contribution to a renewed peace process. Labour, currently far ahead in polls ahead of the July 4 election, emphasizes that Palestinian statehood is not in the gift of any neighbor. This policy reaffirms Labour's long-standing position and aligns with the existing UK Government's stance.
