British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who is visiting camps for Syrian and Palestinian refugees, says a government under his leadership would recognise a Palestinian state "very early on."
He spoke during his first international trip outside Europe since he was elected Labour Party leader in 2015.
Corbyn said during a tour of the Zaatari camp for Syrian refugees today that Britain could do more to take in displaced Syrians, particularly unaccompanied children. He says government efforts have been "very, very small" compared to others in Europe, including Germany.
Tomorrow, he is to visit a decades-old camp for Palestinians uprooted in Israeli-Arab wars.
He's a vocal supporter of Palestinian statehood aspirations and says a Labor government would quickly recognise Palestine "as a full state as part of the United Nations.
