Slovenia is the latest country to formally recognize a Palestinian state

The decision follows Spain, Ireland and Norway, which formally recognized Palestinian statehood in May. They have joined more than 140 countries that have recognized a Palestinian state since 1988. None of the G7 countries — United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy or Japan — do.

Countries that have recognized a Palestinian state

Note: Several European countries, such as Czech Republic and Hungary, originally recognized a Palestinian state in 1988 when they were part of the Communist block and followed a unified policy, but their current diplomatic stance may be different.
