The leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party said on Friday he favoured recognising Palestine as a state if such a move would help bring about a broader peace deal in the Middle East.
Ed Miliband was asked by a reporter if Britain would recognise Palestine in the first year or two of his premiership, if Labour wins national elections on May 7.
Miliband said Labour backed a symbolic vote held last year in Britain's parliament in favour of recognising Palestine.
