Slovenia on Tuesday became the latest country to recognise a state of Palestine

Paris (AFP): The Israel-Hamas war, raging in Gaza since the Palestinian group’s October 7 attack, has revived a global push for Palestinians to be given a state of their own.
Slovenia on Tuesday became the latest country to recognise a state of Palestine, breaking with the long-held view of Western powers that Palestinians can only gain statehood as part of a negotiated peace with Israel.
This follows the same move made last week by Spain, Ireland and Norway.
Their action, which has infuriated Israel, means that 146 out of the 193 UN member states now recognise a Palestinian state.
They include most Middle Eastern, African, Latin American and Asian countries, but not the United States, Canada, the majority of western Europe, Australia, Japan or South Korea.
In April, the United States used its veto at the UN Security Council to prevent a Palestinian bid to become a full UN member state.
