The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Portugal officially recognized the State of Palestine on Sunday.
At a UN conference co-hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman later today, more countries are expected to formally recognize Palestinian statehood.
On Friday, a Macron advisor indicated that these countries could include:
- France
- Belgium
- Luxembourg
- Andorra
- San Marino
- Malta
Currently, over three-quarters of the 193 UN member states already recognize Palestine. Countries that have not yet recognized it include the United States, Israel, Italy, and Germany, according to BBC reports.
