Norway, Spain, and Ireland were the most recent countries to acknowledge the state of Palestine on Tuesday, defying the long-held view of Western powers that the Palestinians can only become a state as part of a negotiated peace with Israel.
Israel has become enraged by their actions, and as a result, 145 out of 193 UN members now acknowledge a Palestinian state.
Many Middle Eastern, African, and Asian countries are included, however the US, Canada, a substantial portion of western Europe, Australia, Japan, and South Korea are not.
