Palestine (State of Palestine)

The State of Palestine is a recognized entity claiming the territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its envisioned capital. It seeks sovereignty and self-governance for Palestinians, many of whom live as refugees or under varying levels of control and restriction. While it has gained recognition from some countries and international organizations, it lacks full control over its territory and borders due to ongoing conflicts with Israel. The situation is complex, rooted in decades of political, territorial, and security disputes, making Palestine a central focus of the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
