State of Palestine (autonomous area) |
Note: Area of the proposed independent state that would allow Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The state was proclaimed in 1988 by the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO's) National Council (PNC) in exile in Algiers. In 2012, the U.N. General Assembly upgraded Palestine to "non-member observer state" status in the United Nations; as of 2013, 193 U.N. member states had recognized the State of Palestine. |
