The Scottish National Party manifesto has pledged to “call on the next UK government to support the formal recognition of a Palestinian state”.
The policy document, which was released today, echoed Labour leader Ed Miliband’s call to recognise an independent Palestine.
The SNP said: “We will call on the next UK government to pursue a two state solution for Israel and Palestine and to support the formal recognition of a Palestinian state.”
The party, led by Nicola Sturgeon, made no specific mention of religious slaughter in its manifesto.
