Recent developments have challenged the traditional stance of Western powers regarding Palestinian statehood. Norway, Spain, and Ireland broke from this norm by recognizing Palestine as a state, intensifying the international campaign. Israel's actions in Gaza further fueled this movement. Despite opposition from Israel and the US, the number of UN members recognizing Palestine has risen to 145 out of 193. Notably absent from this list are the US, Canada, much of Western Europe, Australia, Japan, and South Korea. In April, the US used its Security Council veto to block Palestinian efforts for full UN membership.
