How can Israel deny this when more than half of the countries in the world recognize the State of Palestine?

[Anonymous]

The state of Palestine is recognized by 143 countries out of 193 countries in the world. How is it that Israel still rejects the Palestinian State? 🇵🇸

Concession is different from endorsement. These nations allow Palestine to exert a national name, that does not mean, they support Palestine, it means they are afraid to anger Palestine or their allies. A supporter is different from a forced submissive.

Just look at the map, it's mostly the dodgy countries that recognise it.

Its a territorial dispute and Israel is one party in that dispute. Obviously, they will pick their own self-interest. You can't expect someone to change if it's not in their benefit to change.

well china can do this despite the entire world recognizing taiwan as a sovereign state. national propaganda doesn't care for international opinions.

Because it doesn't exist. Gaza and the West Bank are run by different entities; which is the true government? The corrupt one, or the terrorist one?

It’s not recognized by the UN

[Asker]

It has the status of an observer state. Observer "state".

[Pterodon]

I don’t recognize it either
