United Nations — Support for Palestinian statehood continues to grow as more than 145 out of 193 UN member countries have formally recognized the State of Palestine. The rising international recognition underscores mounting global pressure for a two-state solution to the decades-long Middle East conflict.
Palestinian leaders hailed the milestone as a major step toward justice and sovereignty, while Israel criticized the trend, insisting that statehood should come only through direct negotiations. Analysts say the growing recognition strengthens Palestine’s diplomatic standing but also deepens divisions at the UN.
