After almost two years of fighting in Gaza, Britain, Australia, Canada, and Portugal recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday. France, Belgium, and more nations are expected to follow suit in the UN General Assembly.
This is a summary of the state’s diplomatic recognition, which was unilaterally declared in 1988 by the exiled Palestinian leadership.
Israel presently controls the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which are both mostly in ruins, out of the state’s claimed territory.
Which nations have recognized or intend to recognize the State of Palestine?
Three-quarters of UN members, in response.
