ANOTHER ROW WITHIN THE LABOUR PRARTY - UNFORTUNATELY THEY WILL COMFORTABLY WIN THE UPCOMING ELECTION

 Keir Starmer risks infuriating Labour's left with plan to 'delay recognition of Palestinian state to avoid rocking Britain's relationship with America and other allies'

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. 

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 is under pressure from Labour's left-wing to act quickly on this pledge if the party wins the general election on 4 July.

But, according to The Times, allies of the Labour leader have warned he should not rush into recognising a Palestinian state.

They have reportedly expressed fears that doing so would open up a dividing line with America and other Western nations.

With opinion polls putting Labour on course for a large majority, they are said to believe Sir Keir can afford to ignore pro-Palestinian voices on the party's left.

Yet there are early signs that, should Sir Keir delay a move on recognising a Palestinian state, he would infuriate significant parts of his party.

Former party leader Jeremy Corbyn posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, today: 'Palestinians are human beings who deserve self-determination.

'We must recognise the state of Palestine. Not some time in the future. Not when the time is right. Now.'
