State of Palestine a country in the Middle East, politically under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian government and the Hamas Government in Gaza. Since the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in 1988 and the consequent admission into UN as an observer state in 2012, Palestine is today recognized by three-quarters of the world's countries.[1] Its proclaimed capital is East Jerusalem, and Ramallah is its administrative center. Although recently promoted to a non-member state status in the UN, Palestine does not exert full control of its territory and has historically turbulent relations with Israel and much of the west.
