Majority of Americans want UN states to recognise Palestine: Poll

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that 58 percent of Americans think all UN member states should recognise Palestine as a country.

According to the survey, 33 percent of respondents opposed recognition, while 9 percent gave no answer.

The poll, conducted over six days and ending on Monday, came shortly after Canada, Britain and France, all close allies of the US, announced plans to recognise the State of Palestine.
