Ed Miliband has instructed Labour MPs to back a vote in parliament that would call on the government to “unilaterally recognise” Palestine as a state.

In 2012, the United Nations approved the de facto recognition of a Palestinian state – there were 138 votes in favour, nine against and 41 abstentions.
